value.replace regex help needed with javascript function

i am having a problem with some regex in a javascript function My string looks like this...

[Space]SomeString[Space][Tab]SomeString[Space][Tab][LineBreak]

SomeString[LineBreak]

[Space]SomeString[Space][Tab]SomeString[Space][Tab][LineBreak]

SomeString[LineBreak]

I want to remove the [Tab][LineBreak] but keep the [LineBreak] so my output would be

[Space]SomeString[Space][Tab]SomeString[Space]SomeString[LineBreak]

[Space]SomeString[Space][Tab]SomeString[Space]SomeString[LineBreak]

I have tried:

value.replace(/\t\n/g, '');

but that didn't work i also tried:

value.replace(/\s+/g, '');

but that removed all the line breaks

Can anyone help please? Thanks

This will do the trick

str.replace(/\t(\r\n|\r|\n)/g,'');

Here is a demo fiddle.

Edit:

str = str.replace(/^\s|\t([\r\n]+)|([\r\n]+)\t|\s$/g,'');

Here is the "upgraded" example
