Construction of PHP/Javascript replace function - php

Question

I would like to ask you for some help with my problem.
I have this php code, which I use to clean $pname from prepositions, white spaces, numbers etc. to make it more suitable for sorting.
$prepositions = array(" ", "tert-", "dl-"); //only a part of all
$patterns = array("'([0-9])'si", "/\b\w\b\s?/", "/[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]/");
$sname = preg_replace($patterns, '', str_replace($prepositions, "", strtolower($pname])));
I am trying convert this code to javascript but code is so massive. Here is part of it:
function createsname ()
{
if(document.getElementById('pname').value != '')
{
var myString = new String();
myString = document.getElementById('pname').value.toLowerCase();
var reg0 = new RegExp(" ");
var sname0 = myString.replace(reg0, "");
var reg1 = new RegExp(/\d/g);
var sname = sname0.replace(reg1, "");
document.getElementById('sname').value = sname;
}
}

So if you have ideas how can i write it in javascript please, help me.

Answer 1

var myString = document.getElementById('pname').value.toLowerCase();
var replaces = [" ", "tert-", "dl-", /([0-9])/si, /\b\w\b\s?/, /[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]/];
for ( var k in replaces ) {
myString = myString.replace(replaces[k], "");
}
Brad Christie proposition:
for ( var k = 0; k < replaces.length; k++ ) {
myString = myString.replaces(replace[k], "");
}

Answer 2

Well, based on the examples you gave and what I could test, here's what I came up with:
String.prototype.Lukas = function(){
return this.toLowerCase().replace(/(\(.*?\)|\[.*?\]|\b\w\b\s?|(?:dl|tert|\d+[a-z]){1,4}-|\W|\d)/ig, '');
};
DEMO
Again, only based on what I could see. Use it like this:
// assign the original string to a variable
var original = '1,2,4-Triazolo-[4,3,a]pyridin-3(2H)-one';
// then get the desired result using "Lukas()"
var result = original.Lukas();
