String sent to function, needs to return only alphanumeric values

19
Hey everyone, I had a quick problem:

I want to be able to send a string of data to a function and have it return that same string but only in alphanumerics. That is to say, if I sent it:

"Hello world 1!"

It should return:

"Helloworld1"

Is this possible? I know I can do a verification using RegEx, but I want to actually alter the string to return only alphanumeric. Any help would be much appreciated!

You can use the same RegExp pattern to replace as well as to test-

string=string.replace(/\W+/g,'');
