Replacing empty with regex

Question

I'm trying to get rid of empty paragraphs using replace with a regex, but not having luck.

return text.replace('/(<p><\/p>)+/g', '');

I've tested the regex /(<p><\/p>)+/g in regex101 and it seems to be ok. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You should remove the quotes:

return text.replace(/(<p><\/p>)+/g, '');

Answer 2

Almost there ... but a regex in JS isn't a string

Your's

return text.replace('/(<p><\/p>)+/g', '');

Try this

return text.replace(/(<p><\/p>)+/g, '');
