How to replace all * characters in a string using a regular expression

Question

I want to delete * characters if it is present in a string.

This is my code but it's not working.

String.replace(/*/g '')

Answer 1

"Your string".replace("*", ""); 

Answer 2

You have to escape the special character * with a backslash, as it has another meaning in a regex.

String.replace(/\*/g, '');
