Remove non-english from a string Typescript

Question

Hey I'm trying to remove numbers from a string using regex. this is my code so far:

str.replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, '');

this removes everything but letters and numbers, how can I change this regex to also remove digits? tried adding /d with no luck

that's not duplicate- none of the answers I saw worked for me. most of them were adding 0-9,A-Z stuff, nothing like the answers here.

thanks!

Try `str.replace(/[^\w|\s|\d]/gi, '');` – Treast Oct 08 '18 at 19:02 — Treast, Oct 08 '18 at 19:02
Well, `str.replace(/[^\w\s]|\d+/gi, '');` – Wiktor Stribiżew Oct 08 '18 at 19:06 — Wiktor Stribiżew, Oct 08 '18 at 19:06
What about `str.replace(/[0-9]+/g, '')`? – slider Oct 08 '18 at 19:07 — slider, Oct 08 '18 at 19:07

str.replace(/[^\w\s]|\d+/gi, ''); Best solution, the rest doesn't work as needed. thanks a lot @Wiktor Stribiżew – rio Oct 08 '18 at 19:21
