Question

I would like to replace all the characters other than 0-9 in a string, using Javascript.

Why would this regex not work ?

 "a100.dfwe".replace(/([^0-9])+/i, "")

Answer 1

You need the /g modifier to replace every occurrence:

"a100.dfwe".replace(/[^0-9]+/g, "");

I also removed the redundant i modifier and the unused capturing sub-expression braces for you. As others have pointed out, you can also use \D to shorten it even further:

"a100.dfwe".replace(/\D+/g, "");
