I have a string:
XXX - Test Text 1, OOO - Test Text 2, Dummy
What I want to do is return this string as:
XXX,OOO,Dummy
So I need to remove everything (and including the dash) but keep the string comma separated. This string could have up to say 10 variables.
This has nothing to do with jQuery, it is just native JavaScript. What you could do is split the string for every comma. Then split every part on the - character and join all the parts together:
parsedString = "XXX - Test Text 1, OOO - Test Text 2, Dummy".split(',')
.map(part => part.split('-')[0].trim())
.join(',')
console.log(parsedString);1) You can first split the string which will returns an array of strings
str.split(",")
2) use reduce to only get the initial string of all strings in an array that is returned from the 1st step
3) then, join them with ,
const str = "XXX - Test Text 1, OOO - Test Text 2, Dummy";
const result = str
.split(",")
.reduce((acc, curr) => {
let match = curr.match(/[a-z]+/i);
if (match) acc.push(match[0]);
return acc;
}, [])
.join(",");
console.log(result);
