I have a below string. I need to remove all the special character and space.

var Uid = "s/Information Needed1-s84102-p306";

I tried the below code.It didn't replace the space from the string.

console.log(Uid.replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, '')}")

The output is:- sInformation Needed1s84102p306

I want the output as sInformationNeeded1s84102p306

• javascript

Simply try using

/[\W_]/g

• \W match any non-word character [^a-zA-Z0-9_]

Included _ if you also want to remove it then

Regex

You can just use:

console.log(Uid.replace(/\W+/g, '')}")

\W will match any non-word character including a space.

RegEx Demo

You can use this expression for your case

var x = "s/Information Needed1-s84102-p306";
console(x.replace(/[^A-Z0-9]/ig, ""));
