Hi there!

You need to return str and use .replace() method on it.

Edit: here’s the a link you may find helpful:

const calorieCounter = document.getElementById(‘calorie-counter’);
const budgetNumberInput = document.getElementById(‘budget’);
const entryDropdown = document.getElementById(‘entry-dropdown’);
const addEntryButton = document.getElementById(‘add-entry’);
const clearButton = document.getElementById(‘clear’);
const output = document.getElementById(‘output’);
let isError = false;

function cleanInputString(str) {
const regex = [/±\s/];
}

I keep getting this error when i reset the regular expression:
SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: nothing to repeat
