javascript - How Do I Remove a text Parenthesis Using JQuery? - Stack Overflow

I have some auto-generated text that includes non-ascii encoded parentheses. For example:

<div> Some text (these are the non-ascii encoded parenthesis).
<div>

I want to get rid of the parenthesis. I have the following, which I use elsewhere to clean out some html elements, but I can't get similar to work to remove actual text:

     jQuery(document).ready(function(){jQuery(".block").find("p").remove()});

I've found a few ideas around, but they deal with normal text. Getting rid of a parenthesis is a challenge, as I'm not sure how to code the parenthesis so that jQuery understands it.

Any ideas?

• Do you want to get rid of the parentheses themselves, or everything they contain as well? – James Allardice Commented Aug 25, 2011 at 11:36
• I'm just looking to ditch the parentheses, but it looks like Andy's answer below includes code to nix everything in between also. Thanks for replying. – user624385 Commented Aug 26, 2011 at 10:05

You should do the replacing/cleaning with vanilla Javascript. Something like

$('div').text(function(_, text) {
    return text.replace(/\(|\)/g, '');
});

will do it. Notice, this would query for all <div> nodes on the entire side, you want to be more specific on the selector.

If you'd like to remove the parenthesis and everything in between, you'd simply have to change the regular expression to /\(.*?\)/g.
