Remove/ Replace span of Specific String from the sentence-CodePudding

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.

CodePudding user response：

Try this,

str = divData.replace(/<span[^>]*>/,"");
str = str.replace(/<\/?Span[^>]*>/,"");

(Removed 'g' flag) 'g' means global, it will replace everything in the string.

CodePudding user response：

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);
