replace multiple <br> in javascript replace with single <br>?

html, javascript, regex

Solution

Try this

var str="<p>fhgfhgfhgfh</p><br><br><p>ghgfhfgh</p><br><br><p>";

var n=str.replace(/<br><br>/g,"<br>");

console.log(n);

Working DEMO

Edit: Above works for 2 `br` tags, code below should take care of any number of br tags.

var n = str.replace(/(<br>)+/g, '<br>');

Working DEMO

where `/.../` denotes a regular expression, `(<br>)` denotes `<br>` tag, and `+` denotes one or more occurrence of the previous expression and finally `g` is for global replacement.

Problem

I want to replace the multiple `<br>` tags with single `<br>` in a text. my text like, ``` <p>fhgfhgfhgfh</p> <br><br> <p>ghgfhfgh</p> <br><br> <p>fghfghfgh</p> <br><br> <p>fghfghfgh</p> <br><br> <p>fghfgh</p> <br><br> ``` How i replace the multiple `<br>` with single `<br>`?.
