Node.JS not appending string weird bug?

function getStatementValue(view, statement){ // vars "@extends('parentview') ", 'extends'
    var parentname = "";

    view.replace(new RegExp(/\B@\w+\('([^(')\W]+)'\)\s/, 'm'), function(occurance){
        parentname = occurance.replace('@' + statement + '(\'', '')
            .replace('\')', "");
        console.log(parentname) // parentview
        console.log(parentname + 'test') // testntview <- unexpected result
    });

    return parentname;
}

I've got no clue to how that result is appearing. when I add the string as shown in console.log, it replaces the string from the beginning, almost like it's re-assigning the memory space. Is this supposed to be happening? How do I return the correct parentviewtest result?

parentname = occurance.replace('@' + statement + '(\'', '')
     .replace('\')', "").trim();

Solved it by adding a .trim() to the string modification. My input included invisible \r and \n characters that I was unaware of.

Thanks to @JaromandaX for spotting that out
