i would like to ask, how to replace char "(" and ")" with ""
it is because i can only replace either ( or ) with "" instead of both
how to achieve the goal??
that is
original: (abc, def)
modified: abc, def
thanks
my code:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var str="(abc, def)";
document.write(str.replace("(",""));
</script>
</body>
</html>
You could use a regex, or
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var str="(abc, def)";
document.write(str.replace("(","").replace(")",""));
</script>
</body>
</html>
Use a regexp, and the g for global replacements:
var str="(abc, def)";
document.write(str.replace(/[()]/g,''));
For reference: http://javascriptkit.com/jsref/regexp.shtml
An alternative version using a single regexp is str.replace(/\(|\)/g,"");
If the parentheses will be the first and last characters, you could avoid a regular expression by using .substring().
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/nRh3C/
var string = "(abc, def)";
alert( string.substring(1, string.length-1) );
or using .substr():
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/nRh3C/1/
var string = "(abc, def)";
alert( string.substr(1, string.length -2) );
