Replace span tag and &nbsp from html string

Question

I have a HTML code like this:

<span>This is HTML.</span>&nbsp; This is &nbsp;&nbsp; paragraph.

And I want to replace the span tag along with  .

My output would be like this:

This is HTML.This is &nbsp;&nbsp; paragraph.

This is what I've tried:

myvar = "<span>This is HTML.</span>&nbsp; This is &nbsp;&nbsp; paragraph.";
newContent = myvar.replace(/<\/?span[^>]*>/g,"");

myvar = "<span>This is HTML.</span> This is paragraph."; myvar.replace(/<\/?span[^>]*>/g,""); — Manoj

Just use replace several times. Since, unless you use a regex, it only replaces the first occurrence of something, you won't lose the extra  .


let initialString = '<span>This is HTML.</span>&nbsp; This is &nbsp;&nbsp; paragraph.';
let finalString = initialString.replace('<span>', '').replace('</span>', '').replace('&nbsp;', '');
