Answer 1

x = x.replace(/\d\.\s+|[a-z]\)\s+|•\s+|[A-Z]\.\s+|[IVX]+\.\s+/g, "");

It’s basically a compound of various bullets you’d like to remove:

• \d\.\s+ – numbered bullets
• [a-z]\)\s+ – small letter bullets with closing brace
• •\s+ – usual bullet
• [A-Z]\.\s+ – upper case bullets with dots
• [IVX]+\.\s+ – Roman numbered bullets
