Question

How can I remove the semicolon (`;`) from a string by using JavaScript? For example: ``` var str = '

' ``` How can I remove the semicolon from `str`?

Accepted Answer

You can use the `replace` method of the string object. Here is what W3Schools says about it: JavaScript replace().

In your case you could do something like the following:

```
str = str.replace(";", "");
```

You can also use a regular expression:

```
str = str.replace(/;/g, "");
```

This will replace all semicolons globally. If you wish to replace just the first instance you would remove the `g` from the first parameter.
