Learn localStorage by Building a Todo App - Step 67

Tell us what’s happening:

To the best of my knowledge the following code fulfills all the requirements of this step:

The function removeSpecialChars is defined.
It removes single quotes.
It removes double quotes.
It removes underscores.
It does not remove spaces.

I have of course run the code without the testStr initialization and console.log().

I appreciate these sorts of steps/challenges that allow a degree of freedom and difficulty, but if you want me to use a specific method to achieve the intended goal, it should be specified. Forgive me if I am wrong.

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region


let testStr = `"'Testing _ all () sorts \ of / characters[]'"`
const removeSpecialChars = (string) => {
  const regex = /[^_\W]+/g;
  return string.match(regex).join(" ");
}
console.log(removeSpecialChars(testStr));
// Testing all sorts of characters

// User Editable Region

/* file: styles.css */

It’s more what might happen after removing the character, rather than not removing it. Take a look at this example (which is identical to the failing test):

console.log(removeSpecialChars("quincy's dance party"));
