Tell us what’s happening:

Hello,

Can anyone help me on this ? I don’t know what I am doing wrong here :frowning:

I am supposed to replace all special characters but can’t find the correct way:
With str.replace([^a-zA-Z0-9\s]) I was thinking
[a-z] ==> would check anything that is not lower case letter
[A-Z] ==> would check anything that is not Upper case letter
[0-9] ==> anything that is not a number
[\s] ==> anything that is not a whitespace

But I still get
“Your removeSpecialChars should not removes spaces”

Your code so far

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


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

const removeSpecialChars = (str) => {
  str.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]/gi,"");
  }

// User Editable Region

/* file: styles.css */

Hi!
You have something extra up there.
Also, it would be better if you return the string after removing the special characters.
Good luck!

you are kind of removing everything, but not because of the regex, What is the function returning?

Thanks for the hint ! I was actually not returning the function that’s true.
Solved now
