What does the regex \S mean in JavaScript? [duplicate]
What does /\S/ mean in a regex?
while (cur ! = null) {
if (cur.nodeType == 3 && ! /\S/. test(cur.nodeValue)) {
element. removeChild(cur);
} else if (cur. nodeType == 1) {
cleanWhitespace(cur);
}
}
Solution 1:
\s matches whitespace (spaces, tabs and new lines). \S is negated \s.
Solution 2:
\S matches anything but a whitespace, according to this reference.
Solution 3:
I believe it means 'anything but a whitespace character'.
