I wonder, how to delete:

<span>blablabla</span>

from:

<p>Text wanted <span>blablabla</span></p>

I'm getting the text from p using:

var text = $('p').text();

And for some reason I'd like to remove from var text the span and its content.

How can I do it?

It's impossible to remove the <span> from the variable text, because it doesn't exist there — text is just text, without any trace of elements.

You have to remove the span earlier, while there is still some structure:

$('p').find('span').remove();

Or serialize the element using HTML (.html()) rather than plain text.

Don't edit HTML using regular expressions — HTML is not a regular language and regular expressions will fail in non-trivial cases.

var html = $('p').html();

var tmp = $('<p>').html(html);
tmp.find('span').remove();

var text = tmp.text();

text = text.replace(/<span>.*<\/span>/g, '');

to remove the unwanted whitespace before the <span> use

text = text.replace(/\s*<span>.*<\/span>/g, '');

leaving you with

<p>Text wanted</p>
