trouble replacing zero-width chars

[atomGit]

i want to remove zero-width characters, however this is not working

Title             Format 
test              {{text}}

Variable          Format
text              {{text.s("[^[:print:]*","")}}

this string contains zero-width chars: this‌‌‌that when i copy it, this is the result: titt

[hnakamur]

.s("[^[:print:]*","") deletes any character except [, :, p, r, i , n, t since Regexp in JavaScript does not support POSIX character class like :print:

{{text.s("[\\u200B]","")}} can be used instead to remove zero-width characters.

thanks!

after some fooling around i came up with this which i think will accomplish what i want... .s("[\\u200B-\\u200D\\uFEFF]","")
