Regex remove all string start with special character

I have a string look like:
var str = https://sharengay.com/movie13.m3u8?pid=144.21.112.0&tcp=none
I want to remove at start ?pid= to end. The result look like:
var str = https://sharengay.com/movie13.m3u8
I tried to:
str = str.replace(/^(?:?pid=)+/g, "");
But it show error like:
Invalid regular expression: /^(?:?pid=)+/: Nothing to repeat

If you really want to do this at the string level with regex, it's simply replacing /\?pid=.*$/ with "":
str = str.replace(/\?pid=.*$/, "");
That matches ?pid= and everything that follows it (.*) through the end of the string ($).
Live Example:
var str = "https://sharengay.com/movie13.m3u8?pid=144.21.112.0&tcp=none";
str = str.replace(/\?pid=.*$/, "");
console.log(str);

You can use split
var str = "https://sharengay.com/movie13.m3u8?pid=144.21.112.0&tcp=none"
var result = str.split("?pid=")[0];
console.log(result);

You can simply use split(), which i think is simple and easy.
var str = "https://sharengay.com/movie13.m3u8?pid=144.21.112.0&tcp=none";
str = str.split("?pid");
console.log(str[0]);

You may create a URL object and concatenate the origin and the pathname:
var str = "https://sharengay.com/movie13.m3u8?pid=144.21.112.0&tcp=none";
var url = new URL(str);
console.log(url.origin + url.pathname);

You have to escape the ? and if you want to remove everything from that point you also need a .+:
str = str.replace(/\?pid=.+$/, "")

You can use split function to get only url without query string.
Here is the example.
var str = 'https://sharengay.com/movie13.m3u8?pid=144.21.112.0&tcp=none';
var data = str.split("?");
alert(data[0]);

regular expression in jquery

My value is coming like this
"aaaa=7%2C778.00&bbbb=1%2C111%2C231.00"
I need
"aaaa"="7,778.00","bbbb"="1,111,231.00"
I wrote
addInsurance.replace(/([^&]+)=([^&]*)/g,function (match, name, addInsurance) {
arrayOfInsurance[name] = addInsurance;
});
I got
"aaaa"="7%2C78.00","bbbb"="1%2C11%2C23.00"
how i can remove "%2C" by regex in jquery!! kindly help!!!!

Try this -
var str = "vatInInsurance=7%2C778.00&totalPremiumInInsurance=1%2C111%2C231.00";
var str_decoded = decodeURIComponent(str).split('&').join();
console.log(str_decoded);

Use decodeURIComponent function to decode the value and then replace the & with comma.
Here is the sample code
var str = "vatInInsurance=7%2C778.00&totalPremiumInInsurance=1%2C111%2C231.00";
var resultString = decodeURIComponent(str).replace('&', ',');

Replace multiple occurences of a comment with javascript

I want to replace multiple occurences of comment and try like below
JsFiddle
Code:
var str = '<!--#test--><!--#test1-->'
str = str.replace('<!--/g', '').replace('-->/g', '');
alert(str)

Your problem is that you're trying to use a string instead of a regular expression. For example, this works.
var str = '<!--#test-->'
str = str.replace(/<!--/g, '').replace(/-->/g, '');
alert(str)

Plain regex commands need to be inside //.
Also, use the
Disjunction; Alternative | (pipe character)
str = str.replace(/<!--|-->/g, ''); // #test#test1

Replace a string of the last 7 chars?

This is my code :
​var myStr = "/private_images/last-edit/image-work-med.png";​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
and I'd like to replace the last 7 chars (med.png) with big.png. Or, as you can see, the last occurence after a - split.
How can I do it? I think about regex, but I'm not a champion with them. Tried :
myStr = myStr .replace(/-([^-]*)$/, "big" + '$1');
but it replace the last -, not the last occurence. So the result is /private_images/last-edit/image-workbigmed.png

I'll make a confession: I'm not so great with regexes either.
How about splitting up using split? Less concise, but easier to understand.
var myStr = "/private_images/last-edit/image-work-med.png";​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
var strs = myStr.split('-');
// Change the last element.
strs[strs.length - 1] = "big.png";
// And put back the right string.
myStr = strs.join('-');

You could use a regex, or you could use a few string methods and make your intentions clear.
var idx = myStr.lastIndexOf("-");
var newStr = myStr.substring(0, idx) + "big.png";

Without using RegExp you could use:
var str = "/private_images/last-edit/image-work-med.png"
,replace = 'big.png'
,nwstr = str.slice(0,str.lastIndexOf('-')+1)+replace;
//=> nwstr now "/private_images/last-edit/image-work-big.png"
More 'functional':
var nwstr = function(s){
return s.replace(s.substr(-7),'');}(
'/private_images/last-edit/image-work-med.png'
)+'big.png'

var url = "/private_images/last-edit/image-work-med.png";
var index = url.lastIndexOf('-');
url = url.substring(0, index+1);
var url2 = "big.png";
var output = url.concat(url2); alert(output);
Check this

Just add '-' to your regex and to the replacement string:
myStr = myStr .replace(/-([^-]*)\.png$/, "-big.png");
Or if you want the file extension to be variable:
myStr = myStr .replace(/-([^-]*)\.([a-z]+)$/, "-big.$2");

Why not just use replace:
var myStr = "/private_images/last-edit/image-work-med.png";​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
var newStr = myStr.replace("med.png", "big.png");
According to the requirements specified in your question this would suffice.

If you know it will be a .png file:
var ex = new Regex(#"-\w*.png$");
var myStr = "/private_images/last-edit/image-work-med.png";​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
myStr = ex.Replace(myStr, "-big.png");
It works but if its a jpg it wont...

If you want to use string functions -
var myStr = "/private_images/last-edit/image-work-med.png";
var cleanedupStr = myStr.slice(0, myStr.lastIndexOf("-"));
String.slice

Regular Expression in JS

How do you trim all of the text after a comma using JS?
I have: string = Doyletown, PA
I want: string = Doyletown

var str = 'Doyletown, PA';
var newstr=str.substring(0,str.indexOf(',')) || str;
I added the || str to handle a scenario where the string has no comma

How about a split:
var string = 'Doyletown, PA';
var parts = string.split(',');
if (parts.length > 0) {
var result = parts[0];
alert(result); // alerts Doyletown
}

using regular expression it will be like:
var str = "Doyletown, PA"
var matches = str.match(/^([^,]+)/);
alert(matches[1]);
jsFiddle
btw: I would also prefer .split() method

Or more generally (getting all the words in a comma separated list):
//Gets all the words/sentences in a comma separated list and trims these words/sentences to get rid of outer spaces and other whitespace.
var matches = str.match(/[^,\s]+[^,]*[^,\s]+/g);

Try this:
str = str.replace(/,.*/, '');
