Omitting special characters from the string using Jquery

I have to implement some type of pixel for analytic and it requires passing a session Id in the url string. My sessionID contains special characters. It looks something like this BFhGlzT6FBkDr2Zndp0!-1309 I need to remove the (-!) characters from this string, how do I achieve this using jquery? I need to make sure jquery remove those characters before it render otherwise it will not report a visit to analytic.

Guys thanks your help but maybe I need to explain bit further, my pixel code look some what like this "

img src="https://sometime.com/png?org_id=k8vif92&session_ id=T6PtTyRSqhGPYBhp84frwth67n6fL7wcLBFhGlzT6FBkDr2Zndp0!-130901808!1319637471144&m=2&m=2" alt="">

Before this pixel fire off, I need to replace the character in the sessionId string to remove !- and keep in mind session id will change every time there is a new session. I need a code that is generic so it works no matter what session id is, it needs to delete special characters from it.

You dont need jquery for this. You can use javascript regex. See this jsfiddle

var code = "BFhGlzT6FBkDr2Zndp0!-1309";

code = code.replace(/[!-]/g,"");

alert(code);

Black-listing ! and - (fiddle):

var url = "BFhGlzT6FBkDr2Zndp0!-1309";
document.write(url.replace(/[!\-]/g,""));

White-listing alpha-numeric (fiddle):

var url = "BFhGlzT6FBkDr2Zndp0!-1309";
document.write(url.replace(/[^a-z0-9]/ig,""));

Define a regular expression character set that contains all the allowed characters. For example, yours might look like /[a-zA-Z0-9]/. Now invert it with the complementary character set [^a-zA-Z0-9] and remove all those characters with the String.replace method.

mystring = mystring.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, "");

Try using .replace:

var token = "BFhGlzT6FBkDr2Zndp0!-1309";
token.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/g, "");

this will remove any character that's not a letter or number. More concisely:

token.replace(/\W/g, "");

(this won't replace underscores)
