JavaScript - Remove Unit Separator (Unicode: 0x1f) Character From String

Question

How do you remove Unit Separator (Unicode: 0x1f) from a string using javascript?

I have string that is creating xml however the Unit Separator character is making the XML invalid. Is there a way in JavaScript to strip out such a character?

I have tried this however it does not work:

input.replace('/\c_/g', '');

This should work:

input = input.replace(RegExp(String.fromCharCode(31),"g"),"")

You're missing a new and a second argument to replace.

You are correct, although it doesn't look like I need the new, at least on Chrome

You can add a character whose unicode code you know in a javascript string literal using \xXX.

This should work :

input = input.split("\0x1f").join('');

It should be "\x1f", leave the zero
