I have a telegram bot and I want to remove all special characters and just returns numbers and A-Z,but the problem is that my regex pattern can remove any emojies except numbers like this :1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣
I want to delete emoji numbers too
So this is my pattern :
text = '1️⃣Hi =) 1.This regex removes 2️⃣all special 6️⃣characters like this !@$#%^&*()_+=~`/\><.⚠️4️⃣'
text.toUpperCase().match(/[a-z]+|\d+(?:\.\d+)?/gi)
.map((m) => (isNaN(m) ? m : +m))
//Current output :
// [1,'HI',1,'THIS','REGEX','REMOVES',2,'ALL', 'SPECIAL',6,'CHARACTERS', 'LIKE','THIS']
//What I want :
// ['HI',1,'THIS','REGEX','REMOVES','ALL', 'SPECIAL','CHARACTERS', 'LIKE','THIS']
Also I don't know why it removed the last number emoji from string! (4️⃣)
These numbers are emojis. To remove them, too, use the following:
text = '1️⃣Hi =) 1.This regex removes 2️⃣all special 6️⃣characters like this !@$#%^&*()_+=~`/\><.⚠️4️⃣'
console.log(
text.toUpperCase().match(/[a-z]+|(?!\d\uFE0F\u20E3)\d+(?:\.\d+)?/gi)
.map((m) => (isNaN(m) ? m : +m))
)The (?!\d\uFE0F\u20E3) negative lookahead will fail any match of \d+(?:\.\d+)? when the first digit is a part of the numeric emojis.
