I have two different Regex formuals, one for replacing spaces, commas, and periods with an underscore: /[ ,.]/g,"_" and another one removing symbols /[!@#$%^&*]/g,"".
Is there a way to combined these two together into one expression?

3Yes, string.replace can take in a handler function that you can use to differentiatee the 2 cases. But it'd be cleaner to just invoke.replace twice. – junvar Apr 21 '21 at 22:02

Thank you, I have .replace twice and its working great. Is that the cleanest way to use 2 different cases? – Apr 21 '21 at 22:15

Yes, when the replace-with string is different (i.e. '_' v ''), 2 replaces is appropriate. – junvar Apr 21 '21 at 22:29

You can combine both Regex formulas using logic operators inside (OR and AND). This answer will help you.

not really, because you can't give 2 different results (to what to change it) – Flash Thunder Apr 22 '21 at 08:23
