javascript string replace multiple special characters

Question

I know how to replace single character in string, but what if i want to replace multiple characters?

var replaceMe = "Přemysl Oráč Šestý";


$("body").append( replaceMe );

For example:

• ě = e;
• č = c;
• ď = d;
• ř = r;

and so on. In my case Přemysl Oráč Šestý should be Premysl Orac Sesty

How to do that if I have multiple characters?

Here is my codepen http://codepen.io/anon/pen/RaXvjo?editors=0010

Answer 1

Just call .replace() method multiple times:

var replaceMe = "Přemysl Oráč Šestý";

var replaced = replaceMe
  .replace(/ě/g, "e")
  .replace(/č/g, "c")
  .replace(/ď/g, "d")
  .replace(/ř/g, "r")

$("body").append(replaced);
