Replace a string word with empty space with js

Question

I have the following string:

var string = "Deluxe 3 Bed  Private"

and the following code to replace the "Private" word with an empty space:

var rooms = ["Basic", "Standard", "Superior", "Deluxe", "Private"];
//var room = "room";
vwo_$(document).ready(function(){

  WRI.eventBus.on('ui:microsite:availabilityStore:refresh', function(){
    var roomName = $(".roomnamelink");
    roomName.each(function(){
      for (var i = 0; i < rooms.length; i++) {
        var pattern = "[^\s]" + rooms[i];
        var regex = new RegExp(pattern);
        string = string .replace(regex, " ");
      }
    });
  })

but my regex is probably wrong.

If the word "Private" is found in the string I want that replaced with an empty space.

var string = "Deluxe 3 Bed"

you want to replace each word of the array if found with a space? — eltonkamami

I want to replace any of the words found in the rooms array with an empty space you can use one regex for all the possible words

var regex = /\b(Basic|Standard|Superior|Deluxe|Private)\b/gi

and the use it with String#replace method

var string = "Deluxe 3 Bed  Private"
string.replace(regex, '')

You could search for white space and the word, you want to replace.

var re = /[\s]*?private/gi,
    str = 'Deluxe 3 Bed  Private',
    subst = ''; 
 
var result = str.replace(re, subst);
console.log('#' + result + '#');

you can do it by using very simple code like below:

 var string = "Deluxe 3 Bed  Private"
 //checking whether private is in String or not.

 if (wordInString(string, 'Private')) 
   { 
    string = string.replace('Private', ' ');
   }
   alert(string);

        function wordInString(s, word) {
            return new RegExp('\\b' + word + '\\b', 'i').test(s);
        }

that's all.. :)
