You cannot use \s(any spaces) for this. Use the character set instead:[ \t\f\v]

\smeans any spaces, including newlines and tabs. - space. To remove spaces:

choiceText=choiceText.replace(/ /g,''); // remove spaces

You can remove "any spaces except newlines"; most regex count expressions are \slike[ \t\r\n] , so we just take out \nboth \rand you get:

choiceText=choiceText.replace(/[ \t]/g,''); // remove spaces and tabs
