Regular Expressions - Remove Whitespace from Start and End

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
For some reason this code fails the test “result should be equal to the string Hello, World!”. Passing result into console.log gives me Hello, World! as expected, and typeof result even gives me a string. What am I doing wrong here?

Your code so far

let hello = "   Hello, World!  ";
let wsRegex = /^(\s+)(.+)(\s+)$/; // Change this line
let result = hello.replace(wsRegex, '$2'); // Change this line

Hello mattes!

I just finished my Regex but it doesn’t go thought.

This is my code:

let hello = " Hello, World! “;
let wsRegex = hello.replace(/\s+/,”") // Change this line
let result = wsRegex; // Change this line

console.log(result);

Hello, World!

// Why is not working? I also checked the answer and I put it in there but it did not work with the answer lol.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks!
