Removing text with regex

Question

I need some help with javascript and regex.I want to remove some text in title.

I am new to regex and I tried this but it doesn't seems to work.

title.replace('/\d{4}\YEAR\d{1,2}\MONTH\d{1,2}\DATE/g', '');

Here is what I am trying to remove

Why \Y, \M and \D? Isn't title.replace(/\d{4}YEAR\d{1,2}MONTH\d{1,2}DATE/g, ''); enough?
