How to replace all occurrences of a string

0 votes

I have this string:

"Test abc test test abc test test test abc test test abc"

Doing:

str = str.replace('abc', '');

seems to only remove the first occurrence of abc in the string above.

How can I replace all occurrences of it?

Hello @kartik,

As an alternative to regular expressions for a simple literal string, you could use

str = "Test abc test test abc test...".split("abc").join("");

The general pattern is

str.split(search).join(replacement)

This used to be faster in some cases than using replaceAll and a regular expression, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore in modern browsers.

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!
