Finding in string portions of letters with RegEx and JS
Posted on December 2, 2021
Here a simple way to check if a particular chunk of text is present or not in a given string:
// my string
const myText = 'Hello there! How is going?'
// check if 'are' or 'is' presence in string
const check = myText.match(/are|is/mig)
// 'check' will be = null if not present
// 'check' will be = ['is'] if it finds something
So, you can replace what you found with something else, in this case, just strip them out:
var res = myText
check.forEach(s => {
res = res.replace(s, '')
})
