When I print the text of the task (t.text) I the name of the task + the icons for start/scheduled/due dates + start/scheduled/due dates.
I would like to have only the name of the task, without the icons or the date.
Inspecting the task object seems that there’s a way to get the start/scheduled/due dates alone but no the task name only.
Any simple solution?
Otherwise I’m considering to create a function to “clean” the text by searching for date formats and replacing with ‘’.

Easy peasy. Assuming you’re talking about the icons from Obsidian Tasks, you can use this regex to just remove any text that follows one of the special icons:
t.text.replace(/[📅⏳🛫⏫🔼🔽].*$/, '')
You’ve also got a mistake in your code where you’re using a single & when you should be using a double &&. You can read about the difference here.
