There is the following code:

$("#ce_clientphone").inputmask("+9(999)9999999")
...
console.log($('#ce_clientphone').unmask())

As you can see I try to get value from '#ce_clientphone' without brackets. How can I do it? I need to allow user to input valid phone, but to save it in the database I need to remove brackets. Thanks in advance.

You could do regular expressions and replace to remove the brackets

"+9(999)9999999".replace(/[()]/g,'');

Try this:

$('#ce_clientphone').unmask().replace(/[()]/g, '');

For example:

"+9(999)9999999".replace(/[()]/g, '');

Returns: 

"+99999999999"

So, how does this work?

We're using a regex to replace the brackets:

/  // Start of regex
[  // Start of character group
() // match either of these characters in the group (So match `(` OR `)`)
]  // End of character group
/  // End of regex
g  // `Global` flag. This means the regex won't stop searching after the first replace

var str="+9(999)9999999";
alert(str.replace(/[()]/g,''));
