Learn localStorage by Building a Todo App - Step 67

Tell us what’s happening:

const removeSpecialChars = (str) => {
const regex = /[“”_‘’]/g
return str.replace(regex, “”);
}

So I just want to inform that with this code I also Pass the Tests and not every special Character is removed.

Maybe the test needs to be updated or is it a shortcut?

Your code so far

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


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

const removeSpecialChars = (str) => {
  const regex = /[""''_]/g
  return str.replace(regex, "");
}

// User Editable Region

/* file: styles.css */

these are all the special characters that are tested, so it’s fine as it is. Maybe we will want to add more special characters to the tests :thinking:

Thank you for the fast reply. It is just that the special characters needed to remove are all in the task. It does not explicity say just those special Characters that is why I was confused.

In order to fix this, we need to create a function called removeSpecialChars that takes a string as input and removes all special characters.

yes, but I think it was tested with sentences, not with string with random symbols and letters. Would you like to create an issue for this?

No your are right. Was just confused. Thank you! :grin:

an issue to test all the other symbols could totally be beneficials, it’s missing a lot of punctuation
