Question

I want to know how I can remove those disturbing | special chars in my Script.

Example Html:

<a name="1">&nbsp;</a><br>|<b>5.11. Monday</b> | 

This is only an example they are all over the code some sort of menu Dividers.

Im loading the Page per Ajax in a wrapper and i want to manipulate it there eg removing the menu the only problem is that there are no classes or id with which i can work with so i have to find a solution which is searching for them all.

All these are stored in a div with the class=”main”

Answer 1

You could simply use replace with a global regex (modifier g). Just note that you need to escape the pipe because it’s a regex meta character:

str = str.replace(/\|/g, '');

The forward-slashes are just delimiters, \| is the literal pipe, and g makes sure that all occurrences are replaced.
