Removing Numbers from a String using Javascript

How do I remove numbers from a string using Javascript?

I am not very good with regex at all but I think I can use with replace to achieve the above?

It would actually be great if there was something JQuery offered already to do this?

//Something Like this??



var string = 'All23';

string.replace('REGEX', '');

I appreciate any help on this.

d matches any number, so you want to replace them with an empty string:

string.replace(/d+/g, '')

I've used the + modifier here so that it will match all adjacent numbers in one go, and hence require less replacing. The g at the end is a flag which means global and it means that it will replace ALL matches it finds, not just the first one.
