How to remove square brackets in string using regex?

Question

[\'abc\',\'xyz\'] – this string I want turn into abc,xyz using regex in javascript. I want to replace both open close square bracket & single q

Answer 1

Use this regular expression to match square brackets or single quotes:

/[\[\]']+/g

Replace with the empty string.

"['abc','xyz']".replace(/[\[\]']+/g,'')

Answer 2

You probably don't even need string substitution for that. If your original string is JSON, try:

js> a="['abc','xyz']"
['abc','xyz']
js> eval(a).join(",")
abc,xyz

Be careful with eval, of course.

Answer 3

here you go

var str = "['abc',['def','ghi'],'jkl']";
//'[\'abc\',[\'def\',\'ghi\'],\'jkl\']'
str.replace(/[\[\]']/g,'' );
//'abc,def,ghi,jkl'

Answer 4

str.replace(/[[\]]/g,'')
