Find text and replace all matching using jQuery

Question

I have

var removeNotification = " (F)";
listVariable = listVariable.replace(removeNotification, '');

This works partially, but it only finds the first " (F)" within the string and replaces it to "". There are about many others I need to change as well.

What I need is a way to find ALL matches and replace it.

Try this:

var removeNotification = /\s\(\F\)/g;   // "g" means "global"
listVariable = listVariable.replace(removeNotification, '');
console.log(listVariable)

This will replace ALL matches, not just the first one.

You could do it this way if removeNotification cannot be hard coded:

// escape regular expression special characters
var escaped = removeNotification.replace(/[-\/\\^$*+?.()|[\]{}]/g, '\\$&')

// remove all matches
listVariable = listVariable.replace(new RegExp(escaped, 'g'), '');
