How to replace a full console logs with preceding whitespaces and possible new line from string with regex

I need to replace a console.log('') construction in a string using regex. Before the console log there can be random number of whitespaces and one or zero new line characters ‘n’. I want to delete it together with the console log. Here is my code:

const consoleRegex = new RegExp(/\n?s+console.log(.*);?/);
let v = "<script>n  console.log('test');n</script>"

v = v.replace(consoleRegex, '');

The desired result is <script>n</script>. When I test the regex in the tester it works however it does not get replaced.

Thanks

Answer

You can use

let v = "<script>n  console.log('test');n</script>";
console.log(v.replace(/s+console.log(.*);?/, ''));

See the online demo

Output:

"<script>n</script>"

Details:

• s+ – one or more whitespaces
• console.log( – a literal console.log( text
• .* – any zero or more chars other than line break chars as many as possible
• ) – a ) char
• ;? – an optional ; char.
