Change string using JQUERY?

Question

I have this JS

var link ="#step-2";

What i need is to get new string that will be like this

var newlink = "STEP 2";

I hope this is simple solution using jquery?

you want to remove only hash & hyphen or want remove all special characters? — Amy

As you've changed in your question title, changing characters will be enough here. So you should use replace() method to change the characters you don't want into characters you want to see. You can either do this by a simple replace or regular expresssion replace. — Tolga Evcimen

You don't want to trim (trim(), and $.trim(), removes the leading, and trailing, white-space from a string, not special, or otherwise-identified, characters) the string; you need, instead, to use replace():

var link ="#step-2",
    newlink = link.toUpperCase().replace(/[#-]/g, function (a){
        return a === '#' ? '' : ' ';
    });

var link ="#step-2";
var newlink = link.replace('#', '').replace('-', ' ').toUpperCase();
