How to remove "-" from string with jQuery

Question

How can I remove "-" from a whole string?

I am using this line which works but only for the first "-", it doesn't remove the other "-".

image name: cropped-Journal-trend-02.png

 imagePath: $(this).find('td:eq(3)').html().replace(('-', '')

var imagePath = "cropped-Journal-trend-02.png"; var newImagepath = imagePath .replace(new RegExp('-', 'g'),""); Can you pls try this. It will remove all - from your string — user6044627, Oct 17 '18 at 06:06

You can add g modifier that is global.It does not return after first match

imagePath: $(this).find('td:eq(3)').html().replace(/-/g, '')

It will work. Open your developer tool and paste var imagePath = "cropped-Journal-trend-02.png"; var newImagepath = imagePath.replace(new RegExp('-', 'g'),""); print newImagepath . This will not have any - sign. – user6044627 Oct 17 '18 at 06:54
