Remove guid string from url

Question

I'm currently trying to remove a guid id from a url, example provided below. It isn't removing the guid id, what am I doing wrong?

example url: "/something/9a2cd43-58c6-52e5-a0c1-700b462d613a"

window.location.pathname.replace(/\b[a-f\d]{32}\b/, '');

You are missing a literal hyphen in your character class (`[a-f\d-]`) and your example is a 35 character string, so this won't work (because `\b` will be `13a` and that is not a word boundary). — Sam, May 09 '14 at 19:40

This should probably be 36. I had to remove the last word boundary as well – Chris Chevalier Sep 17 '21 at 19:20
