Having trouble with very simple thing,
How to properly replace all < br> and <br> in the string with the empty space?

This is what I'm trying to use, but I'm receiving the same string.:

var finalStr = replaceAll(replaceAll(scope.ItemsList[i].itemDescr.substring(0, 27), <,  ), br>,  );

function replaceAll(str, find, replace) {

    return str.replace(new RegExp(find, 'g'), replace);

}

You can achieve that using this:

str = str.replace(/<brs*/?>/gi,' ');

This will match:

<br matches the characters <br literally (case insensitive)

s* match any white space character [rntf ]

Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]

/? matches the character / literally

Quantifier: ? Between zero and one time, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]

> matches the characters > literally

g modifier: global. All matches (don't return on first match)

i modifier: insensitive. Case insensitive match (ignores case of [a-zA-Z])

SNIPPET BELOW

let str = This<br />sentence<br>output<BR/>will<Br/>have<BR>0 br;

str = str.replace(/<brs*/?>/gi, ' ');

console.log(str)
