Then please demonstrate your attempts at solving the problem using your research; explain where your attempts fail. How they fail. What you expected to happen and what happened instead. — David Thomas, Nov 10 '18 at 11:41

The simplest and the most robust method would be to remove all non-numerical values from the string which can be done using a simple regex:

var tel = "Tel: 01.78.99.93.06";
var nom = tel.replace(/\D/g, '');
console.log(nom);

Use replace. If your var is called telephone, then do:

telephone = telephone.replace(“.”,””).replace(“other unwanted strings”,””);

This approach can be simplified using regex to replace all non-numeric characters: `telephone.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '')` – mark_c Nov 10 '18 at 12:39

Also note that the double quotes you're using will cause syntax errors in JS. – Rory McCrossan Nov 10 '18 at 12:46
@RoryMcCrossan do you think the answer which I have accepted once also could cause syntax errors? – neda Derakhshesh Nov 10 '18 at 14:05
