Changing multiple strings in one line of code [duplicate]

Question

Possible Duplicate:
How to replace several words in javascript

I have a string:

var str = "1000 g teerts smarg 700 vickenbauer 400";

I need to replace teerts, vickenbauer by white spaces.

I can do like:

str.replace("teerts", "");
str.replace("vickenbauer", "");

But, is there any way to bind the two into just one line?

You could use RegExp with replace

str.replace(/(teerts|vickenbauer)/g, "");

You can chain the replaces:

str = str.replace("teerts","").replace("vickenbauer","");

Note that the replace method doesn't change the string that you use it on, you have to take care of the return value.

With regex?

str.replace(/(teerts|vickenbauer)/g, '');
