javascript regex to remove particular format text from string

Question

I have a dynamic string and I want to remove particular format text from String. (i.e *Number)

For example: /1*Region 1/42*Europe/51*Test/100*New Folder/119*New Folder

Output : /Region 1/Europe/Test/New Folder/New Folder

Thanks in advance.

@Rory - I tried test.replace(/\d+/g, ''); It removes all numbers — Mohammed Farooq

var str = "/1*Region 1/42*Europe/51*Test/100*New Folder/119*New Folder";

var regex = /(\/\d+\*)/g;

var output = str.replace( regex, '/' );

console.log( output );

An alternative solution is to search for a digit (\d+) followed by a * (\*) and replace it with nothing.

var dynamic="/1*Region 1/42*Europe/51*Test/100*New Folder/119*New Folder";

var edited=dynamic.replace(/\d+\*/g, '');

console.log(edited);

Here is another way using split and join:

var str = '/1*Region 1/42*Europe/51*Test/100*New Folder/119*New Folder',
    result = str.split(/\d+\*/).join('');   

console.log(result);
