I want to remove the escape charecters from a string using jquery.
I know about the "escape()" in jquery but the issue is
For example I want to remove the escape charecters from the string "http://www.abc.com" if we
use escape() we get the result like this 'http%3A//www.abc.com' but i want the result like
'http//www.abc.com'. How it possible using jquery?
There's nothing in jQuery about unescpaing.
Core javascript has escape() and unescape() function.
var url = 'http://www.abc.com';
var escaped_url = escape(url);
console.log(escaped_url); // logs 'http%3A//www.abc.com'
console.log(unescape(escpaed_url)) // logs 'http://www.abc.com'
i.e.
unescape(escape('http://www.abc.com')) === 'http://www.abc.com'
unescape it. You will be able to create a string with no special character
unescape is deprecated now. What to use for same results? decodeURI* functions are for URI :) But I have to decode body of the response.Use a regex? replace(/[^a-z0-9\s]/gi, '') function? Amend to characters you want to keep
escape() encodes the special characters! To remove the characters, use for example replaceAll(String regex, String replacement).
In the regex-part you can insert all of the special character you want to remove.
