How to replace () with RegEx using jQuery

Question

This is my RegEx:

console.log(test.replace(/0098/g, ")").replace(/[()]/g, ''));

How can I replace only () if exists?

My code replace now all bridgets. I want to replace only where is exists ().

Like my example:

var test = "(test1234) - test948 () usi27361() 928372da";

New string: (test1234) - test948 usi27361 928372da

I think you are looking to escape those characters. Maybe > \(\) — JvdV

[()] matches both characters even when they are 'alone'. You want to match the string '()' - That's what Yosef's answer below does. — Poul Bak

To rephase @PoulBak comment above (not incorrect, just rephrasing it) - [xyz] - means match any one of the characters in the [] - it's the equivalent of x or y or z. — fdomn-m

var str = "(test1234) - test948 () usi27361() 928372da";
console.log(str.replace(/\(\)/g, ""));
