Answer 1

Let's take a look at your url:

var url='Page Example';

First let's get rid of both occurences of "

url=url.replace(/"/g,'');

Now remove the first occurence of by feeding the exact string instead of a regular expression to the .replace method.

url=url.replace('','');

At this point your url looks like this:

Page Example

We're getting closer. Let's remove anything in between the > and the " by

url=url.replace(/\>(.*)\"/,'"');

which gives us

Page Example

Almost done - finally let's get rid of "

url=url.replace('"

To make the whole thing a bit more beautiful we can chain all four operations:

var url = 'Page Example';
url = url.replace(/"/g, '').replace('', '').replace(/\>(.*)\"/, '"').replace('"
