Question

For example, I have a string:

"This is the ### example"

I would like to substring the ### out of the above string?

The number of Hash keys may vary, so I would like to find out and replace the ### pattern with, say, 001 for example.

Can anybody help?

If you want to capture multiple # characters, then you’ll need regular expressions:

var myString = "This is #### the example";
var result = myString.replace(/#+/g, '');

If you want to remove the space too, you can use the regex /#+\s|\s#+|#+/.
