I think this fits your needs. http://jsfiddle.net/ksSG8/

 var x="  1.     15-20 years  ";
 x = x.replace(/\s\d\.\s*/, '');
 alert(x);

One part that is missing from many answers and your code is:

x = x.replace(...);

x never receives the value returned from the replace() function if you do not assign it back to x.
