You'd need to turn all the special characters into normal characters...

var removStr = new String();
removStr = "some data with whitespaces, tabs, newlines etc..";

removStr.replace(/\B\s\B|[\n\r\t]/g,'');

Use a regular expressino like this. This will remove all new line chars, whitespaces, tabs etc..with a space.
Like this you can specify all your special chars.

I think this might give you a hint.
