Replace not working [JS]

Just a quick question in javascript.

In the following line

let str = "This sentence is great (amazing even) [yeah, whatever, screw grammar]"
let newStr = str.replace(/"\["|"\]"|"\("|"\)"|","/," ");

When I console.log(str), it gives me the expected string, but when I console.log(newStr), it looks like the .replace didn't do anything... it simply returns str.

newStr should be "This sentence is great amazing even yeah whatever screw grammar"

Can anyone resolve this issue?

Your regex pattern is wrong. Below is the correct one,

let str = "This sentence is great (amazing even) [yeah, whatever, screw grammar]"
let newStr = str.replace(/\(|\)|\[|\]|,/g,"");
console.log(newStr)
