Removing code attribute for my well

I have designed out a section where the user can copy code from my site.

My problem though is that I dont actually want it to do anything to my site. I just want it to be the copy without effecting anything. Is there a way to remove the attributes from this?

You could use String.replace() with a regular expression to remove the data-token portion then output the modified String.

To test, paste the following into your DevTools' console:

var s = '<script="assets.signupumo.com/script.js" data-token="gzbrwdij3oij343"></script>';
var sr = s.replace(/\sdata-token="(\w+?)"/, "");
console.log(s);
console.log(sr);

Note: be aware that your example image does not have a space before "data-token" whereas my example does. If you don't have a space then remove \s from the beginning of the RegExp.
