How to remove all occurrence of character ' in a string in Javascript?

Question

My string is like (passenger's name is Suraj and passenger's contact number is XXXXXXX672). How can I remove the occurrences of ' from the string ? I tried using

comments = comments.replace(/'/g, ' '); and comments = comments.replace(/\'/g, ' ');

But they did not work. Please suggest me the needful.

I just tested out your code in console with your sample string. It is working fine. jsfiddle.net/qafy5m0v — Rajaprabhu Aravindasamy

Are you sure the character in the string is an apostrophe, not a "smart quote"? — Barmar

Which one is working first or second ? I tried both but script error is coming. — Himanshu Shukla

I have a feeling the character in your string is ` not '. SO is labeling that portion of the string as a code section - which shows you've used ` not ' — abagshaw

Your code

var temp = "passenger's name is Suraj and passenger's contact number is    XXXXXXX672";
var test = temp.replace(/'/g, ' ');

Output

"passenger s name is Suraj and passenger s contact number is XXXXXXX672"

Its working fine.

First I am storing the string in DB, then again I am retrieving it and processing it. This error is occurring at that time. While storing it is not showing any error.
