I'm trying to replace all characters that are any of the following: !# in a javascript string (specifically a URL).

href = 'http://example.test/foo/bar#';
href = href.replace('/[\#\!]/g', '');
console.log('href', href);

But it doesn't seem to be performing the replacements, even though I tried the regex with various testers and it works with the string.

    regex isn't a string, '/[\#\!]/g' => /[\#\!]/g Commented Jan 29, 2018 at 2:47

    Also # and ! are not special characters in Javascript regex, you don't have to escape them. Commented Jan 29, 2018 at 3:22

You only have to delete the quotes from '/[#!]/g' and it is going to work.
