Question

How do I remove white spaces in a string but not new line character in JavaScript. I found a solution for C# , by using \t , but it’s not supported in JavaScript.

To make it more clear, here’s an example:

var s = "this\n is a\n te st"

using regexp method I expect it to return

"this\nisa\ntest"

Answer 1

This will work, even on \t.

var newstr = s.replace(/ +?/g, '');
