Using JavaScript to Remove Apostrophe From a String

In JavaScript, to remove an apostrophe from a string the easiest way is to use the JavaScript String replace() method.

var someString = "I'm looking for the dog's collar."

someString = someString.replace(/'/g, '');

console.log(someString);

#Output:
Im looking for the dogs collar.

Notice in the replace method above, that instead of using .replace(“‘”, ”) we use replace(/’/g, ”). If we used the expression "'" in the replace function, it only replace the FIRST instance of an apostrophe. Using the regular expression /'/g makes it so we replace ALL instances of an apostrophe in the string.

When using string variables in JavaScript, we can easily perform string manipulation to change the value of the string variables.

One such manipulation is to remove characters from a string variable. Apostrophes can be troubling characters to deal with in string variables.

We can easily remove apostrophes from a string in JavaScript.

The easiest way to get rid of an apostrophe in a string using JavaScript is with the JavaScript String replace() function.

The replace() function takes two arguments: the substring we want to replace, and the replacement substring. In this case, to remove apostrophes, we pass the apostrophe (“‘”) character as the first argument, and an empty string as the second argument.

Below are some examples of how you can remove apostrophes from strings in JavaScript using the replace() function.

var someString = "I'm looking for the dog's collar."

someString = someString.replace(/'/g, '');

console.log(someString);

#Output:
Im looking for the dogs collar.
