How can I replace this: " / " from a string.
For example: "one / another one" ----> "one/another one"
It just removes the spaces between the slash.. no the orher spaces.
Thanks.

As in, replace `" / "` with `"/"` ? What have you tried? Why didn't it work out? I ask because on the face of it, this is a fairly simple operation, so it feels like there could be something I'm misunderstanding.. – Caius Jard Jun 30 '20 at 11:06

This regexp will strip out any runs of whitespaces around slashes, but keeps the slashes intact.
> "one / another one / yet some more / until the end".replace(/\s*\/\s*/g, '/')
"one/another one/yet some more/until the end"
If you need to keep e.g. //// intact, use + for the quantifier:
> "one / another one / yet some more / until the end (yet this //// remains)".replace(/\s+\/\s+/g, '/')
"one/another one/yet some more/until the end (yet this //// remains)"

" // " should remain " // " according to the task given. Also " / " should end up as " /". But I do not know how strict the question is :-) – Lain Jun 30 '20 at 11:11

Added the option to keep multiple runs of slashes as-is. Two-character change... – AKX Jun 30 '20 at 11:13

You can do this:
console.log("one / another one".replace(/\ \/ /, '/'));

You did'nt specified the language; In my answer I will be using Python;
use -
string_name = string_name.replace(' / ','/') (where string_name is name of variable in which you stored the actual string)
'replace()' is used here , in the first argument you provide what you want to replace and in the second argument you provide with what you want to replace
