I have come across come code written by another developer and I can not working out what it is doing:
title.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig," ")
It replaces all tags (substrings on the form
<...>) with a space," ".Here’s a regexp breakdown:
<– a left tag[^>]– anything but a right tag…+– …one or more times>– a right tag.The
(and)just surrounds the groups in the expression, which are not used anyway.The
/igsuffix says that the regex is case insensitive (pointless in this case, since the rexeg doesn’t mention any letters) and global stating that all occurrences should be replaced.
