How to filter all lowercase letters from a string having special characters?

The input string is - "my&friend&Paul has heavy hats! &".

And I want to get rid of everything except lowercase letters like: "myfriendaulhasheavyhats"

I split it and applied the toLowerCase() method, but it doesn't work with special characters. Need some help!!!

You can use .replace function as follows:

let str = "my&friend&Paul has heavy hats! &";
str = str.replace(/[^a-z]+/g, '');
console.log(str);

Simply replace all none a-z characters by an empty string

"my&friend&Paul has heavy hats! &".replace(/[^a-z]/g, "");

Simple regex with join

let str = "my&friend&Paul has heavy hats! &";

console.log(str.match(/[a-z]/g).join(""))
