I have a string with multiple delimiters and I wanted to split it by the first delimiter found. I couldn't find any method to do this every method I tried will return either all the char found after the last delimiter or the char between the first 2 delimiters found. How can I get all char after the first delimiter? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
x = 'aa-bb-cc-dd'
console.log(x.split('-')[1]) // returns bb expected bb-cc-dd
console.log(x.split('-').pop()) // returns dd expected bb-cc-dd
console.log(x.split('-')[1].pop()) // something like this but obviously this wont workYou can use String#indexOf with String#slice like this:
x = 'aa-bb-cc-dd'
console.log(x.slice(x.indexOf('-')+1)) // returns bb-cc-ddOne way :
x = 'aa-bb-cc-dd'
function splitOnFirstDelimiter (str, del) {
const index = str.indexOf(del);
return index < 0 ? str : str.slice(index + del.length);
}
console.log(splitOnFirstDelimiter(x, '-'))How about using slice instead of split and then create a function which will return the expected value like this?
function splitting (str) {
return str.slice(str.indexOf('-') + 1)
}
const r1 = splitting('aa-bb-cc-dd') // bb-cc-dd
const r2 = splitting(r1) // cc-dd
const r3 = splitting(r2) // dd
console.log(r1)
console.log(r2)
console.log(r3)
