Delete Substring From String Using Regexp in Javascript

Question

I have a string like this

string = '/location/start:2015-06-06/end:2015-06-06'

and I would substitute the start and end paramaters. Therefore, I would like to delete everything like start:2015-06-06 and end:2015-06-06 by using Regexp.

But I do not know how.

Maybe you should start here: javascript.info/tutorial/regular-expressions-javascript and then show us what you come up with. — Jordan Davis

string = string.replace(/start:[\d-]*/g,"").replace(/end:[\d-]*/g,"");

Sorry, brain is running slow today. That should be: string.replace(/(start|end):[\d-]*/g,'');

This should work:

var str = '/location/start:2015-06-06/end:2015-06-06'; 
var result = str.replace(/start:[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}/, 'something');
