Removing a null character from a string in javascript

Question

How can you remove null bytes from a string in nodejs?

MyString\u0000\u0000\u00000 

I tried string.replace('\0', ''); but it doesn't seem to work. Is there any node package that is good for maniputing strings?

It works, but like this it only removes 1 instance of a null-byte. You need to do it with Regular Expressions and the g modifier

var string = 'MyString\u0000\u0000\u0000'; console.log(string.length); // 11 console.log(string.replace('\0', '').length); // 10 console.log(string.replace(/\0/g, '').length); // 8
