How to replace all   and <br> from a string in javascript? [duplicate]

Question

I have a string, let's say:

var str = "&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;"

To replace this with an empty string I'm using this regex:

str.replace(/^(&nbsp;|<br>)+/, '');

This is removing only the first nbsp;. The remaining two are still there. Can anyone please help me to remove all the occurrences of nbsp; and <br> from the string?

The ^ means start of the sentence. So of course only the first one is removed... — dda

Use the g flag ("global") within your regular expression to replace all matches rather than the first:

str.replace(/ <your pattern here> /g, "");
