$('#customerAddress').text().replace(/\xA0/,"").replace(/\s+/," ");
Going after the value in a span (id=customerAddress) and I'd like to reduce all sections of whitespace to a single whitespace. The /\s+/ whould work except this app gets some character 160's between street address and state/zip What is a better way to write this? this does not currently work.
UPDATE: I have figured out that
$('.customerAddress').text().replace(/\s+/g," ");
clears the 160s and the spaces. But how would I write a regex to just go after the 160s?
$('.customerAddress').text().replace(String.fromCharCode(160)," ");
didn't even work.
Note: I'm testing in Firefox / Firebug
Regarding just replacing char 160, you forgot to make a global regex, so you are only replacing the first match. Try this:
$('.customerAddress').text()
.replace(new RegExp(String.fromCharCode(160),"g")," ");
Or even simpler, use your Hex example in your question with the global flag
$('.customerAddress').text().replace(/\xA0/g," ");
