I am trying to remove the span tag from string of sentence .Is it possible .?
My Input is as below :
divData = Welcome Hello <span> World </Span> ! Looking forward the great <span>things</span>.
Output I am looking for :
divData = Welcome Hello World ! Looking forward the great <span>things</span>.
what I have tried is :
str = divData.replace(/<\/?span[^>]*>/g,"");
But above one is replacing all the span of all sentence.
Try this,
str = divData.replace(/<span[^>]*>/,"");
str = str.replace(/<\/?Span[^>]*>/,"");
(Removed 'g' flag) 'g' means global, it will replace everything in the string.
You may use replace here in non global mode, which will target the first span tag only:
divData = "Welcome Hello <span> World </span> ! Looking forward the great <span>things</span>.";
divData = divData.replace(/<span>\s*(.*?)\s*<\/span>/, "$1");
console.log(divData);
