@user1522525 Then, just put a logical OR (i.e. `|`) between your two regexes :) — sp00m, Apr 10 '13 at 15:22

Probably not an optimized regexp but a very simple solution is to combine your regexps with a |:

str = str.replace(/((?:\s\(\d+\)|exception\s*\:*)|exception\s+No\.\s*\d\:)/gi, "<br /><br />$1");
