how can replace multiple chars of string in jquery

Question

var stringVal = "../folder1/folder2/image1.jpg";   
stringVal = stringVal.replace(/[../]/g , "");

It will replace all / of string, but I want just replace ../.

How can do that?

You can use regex \.{2}\/

Regular expression visualization

[../] is a character class that means any character from . or /

var stringVal = "../folder1/folder2/image1.jpg";
stringVal = stringVal.replace(/\.{2}\//g, "");

document.write(stringVal);

You're regex has an extra `]` and `/`. BTW, `\.\.` is shorter than `\.{2}`. – Alexander O'Mara Nov 26 '15 at 06:20

Can you use following:

"../folder1/folder2/image1.jpg".replace("../","")

You could do it this way if you don't want to get into the regex stuff.

stringVal.split("../").join("")

otherwise you'll need to escape the control characters in your regular expression. Here's another answer that should help: Replacing all occurrences of a string in JavaScript
