Answer 1

you can achieve that using this:

str = str.replace(/<br\s*\/?>/gi,' ');

This will match:

• <br matches the characters <br literally (case insensitive)
• \s* match any white space character [\r\n\t\f ]
  • 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])

var str = "This<br />phrase<br>output<BR/>will<Br/>have<BR>0 br";
