Removing Special Character from Scraped Data

[Randy Role 1]

Hey guys,

 

I'm having issues scraping the site name in google analytics. I managed to remove the [DEFAULT], but when it saves the data into a file, I see a weird   at the end, following with a space after it.

 

what I'm using is this: \w.+\s

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Try this: (/[^\w\s]/gi, '')

Try this: (/[^\w\s]/gi, '')

 

thanks for the help bud, but I managed to help myself :-)

 

I used this: ([A-Za-z0-9.]+)(?=\s\[DEFAULT\])

This thread is a little old but I think there may be a few people learning Regex that might benefit from this update.

 

Getting rid of non-Ascii characters can be a real pain.  Especially if you are trying to use the non-whitespace or non-word characters.

Both of these work:

[^ \t-~]

My favorite is this one and it is using the hexidecimal range.

[\x80-\xFF]

Could someone show this Regex how it would look within Ubot? I know nothing about Regex and I really need to get rid of these damn hidden characters. Thank you.

Set variable with hidden characters.

 

For new value use replace regex command. Pattern to find is regex, replace with nothing.
