Suppose my string is like:
var str = "USA;UK;AUS;NZ"
Now from some a source I am getting one value like:
country.data = "AUS"
Now in this case I want to remove "AUS" from my string.
Can anyone please suggest how to achieve this.
Here is what I have tried:
var someStr= str.substring(0, str.indexOf(country.data))
In this case I got the same result.
var str = "USA;UK;AUS;NZ"
console.log(str + " <- INPUT");
str = str.split(';');
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
if (str[i] == 'AUS') {
str.splice(i, 1);
}
}
console.log(str.join(';') + " <- OUTPUT");You can use split and filter:
var str = "USA;UK;AUS;NZ"
var toBeRemoved = "AUS";
var res = str.split(';').filter(s => s !== toBeRemoved).join(';');
console.log(res);Try this :
var result = str.replace(country.data + ';','');
Thanks to comments, this should work more efficently :
var tmp = str.replace(country.data ,'');
var result = tmp.replace(';;' ,';');
'USA;UK;;NZ', leaving an orphaned delimiter. Yes, AUS is gone, but it's doubtful this is the desired output.
NZ... this would fail.You can use replace() with a regex containing the searched country, this is how should be the regex /(AUS;?)/.
This is how should be your code:
var str = "USA;UK;AUS;NZ";
var country = "AUS";
var reg = new RegExp("("+country+";?)");
str = str.replace(reg, '');
console.log(str);This will remove the ; after your country if it exists.
Here is a good old split/join method:
var str = "USA;UK;AUS;NZ;AUS";
var str2 = "AUS";
var str3 = str2 + ";";
console.log(str.split(str3).join("").split(str2).join(""));
