Delete special characters from string with js

Question

I have some string like this:

http://my-site.com/name-274x183.jpg

And I want to cut it down to something like this (Delete -274x183) :

http://my-site.com/name.jpg

How can I do this with javascript or jQuery?

Thanks everyone

@Someone the question is too vague, it's possible that they just want to remove those specific characters, or they may need a more generic features - there's no way to know given they've used the term "special characters" and there aren't any "special" characters in the example and they've requested jquery for basic string manipulation. — fdomn-m

You don't need jQuery to do that. Use regular expressions instead:

const url = 'http://my-site.com/name-274x183.jpg'
const result = url.replace(/\/([^/]+)-\d+x\d+\.(\w+)$/, '/$1.$2')

console.log(result)
