Now you can use  quot replaceAll quot   console log   a b    c d e   f g     replaceAll            will print  abcdefg  But not working in every possible browser  https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web JavaScript Reference Global Objects String replaceAll

Using String prototype replace with regex  as mentioned in the other answers  is certainly the best solution   But  just for fun  you can also remove all whitespaces from a text by using String prototype split and String prototype join    x000D   x000D  const text     a b    c d e   f g      x000D  const newText   text split   s   join      x000D   x000D  console log newText      prints abcdefg x000D   x000D   x000D

replace   s           Will replace the first whitespace only  this includes spaces  tabs and new lines   To replace all whitespace in the string you need to use global mode   replace   s g

You have to tell replace   to repeat the regex   replace    g      The g character makes it a  quot global quot  match  meaning it repeats the search through the entire string   Read about this  and other RegEx modifiers available in JavaScript here  If you want to match all whitespace  and not just the literal space character  use  s instead   replace   s g      You can also use  replaceAll if you re using a sufficiently recent version of JavaScript  but there s not really any reason to for your specific use case  since catching all whitespace requires a regex  and when using a regex with  replaceAll  it must be global  so you just end up with extra typing   replaceAll   s g
