How to remove a range of index-positions in the string?

Question

I have a string like this:

var str = "T  h  i  s     i  s     a              t  e  s  t";
//         1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

Now I want to remove this range: [11 - 13], And I want this output:

var newstr = "T  h  i  s     i  s     a     t  e  s  t";
//            1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 14 15 16 17

How can I do that?

You want to replace multiply whitespaces with one? `str.replace(/\s+/g, '');` — Andreas Louv, Jan 31 '16 at 03:10

The solution by @dev-null is better to remove multiple spaces, however I'd like to correct it. Replace one or more space by a single space. `.replace(/\s+/g, ' ')` // Note, second argument, a space — Tushar, Jan 31 '16 at 06:06
@Tushar Thanks for the correction, just a typo from my side. — Andreas Louv, Feb 01 '16 at 06:57

This should do it:

var newstr = str.slice(0, 10) + str.slice(14);
