By using indexOf() I was able to detect if the input contains "SP-" and replace.
However, I need to look for more than one set of characters:
sp-, SP-, eb-, EB- and more...
I have the following to replace sp- and SP- but I don't want to replicate this entire block for every instance.
// Check for 'sp-' characters in the order ID.
if (order_id.indexOf("SP-") !== -1) {
// Remove string from input
form.find('input[name="orderid"]').val(order_id.replace("SP-", ""));
}
// Check for 'SP-' characters in the order ID.
if (order_id.indexOf("sp-") !== -1) {
// Remove string from input
form.find('input[name="orderid"]').val(order_id.replace("sp-", ""));
}
Update - Just thought of a better solution, find all characters before and including - and remove it. So we're not limited to a specific list in case new prefixes are added at a later date.
sp-1234, SP-1234, xx-1234, etc.
To replace all case insensitive can you try this
form.find('input[name="orderid"]').val(order_id.replace(/sp-/gi, ''));
or you can do something like this
['SP-', 'sp-', 'eb-', 'EB-'].forEach((item)=>{
if ( order_id.indexOf(item) !== -1 ) {
// Remove string from input
form.find('input[name="orderid"]').val(order_id.replace(item, ''));
}
});

Maybe something like this should work
if(order_id.indexOf('-') !== -1) {
var prefix = order_id.substr(0, order_id.indexOf('-'));
form.find('input[name="orderid"]').val(order_id.replace(`${prefix}-`, ""));
}
Just use a regular expression with case insensitivity set. There is no reason to check for the string exists inside the string because the replace method does not do anything if there is no match.
function removePrefix(str) {
return str.replace(/(sp|eb)-/i, '');
}
["fo-foooo", "sp-123", "SP-123", "eb-321", "EB-911"].forEach( function (str) {
console.log(str, removePrefix(str));
});Matching anything that starts with a string followed by a dash
function removePrefix(str) {
return str.replace(/^[^-]+-/i, '');
}
["fo-foooo", "sp-123", "SP-123", "eb-321", "EB-911"].forEach( function (str) {
console.log(str, removePrefix(str));
});Try something like this:
var vals = ["sp-","ep-"] // Put all the values here
vals.forEach(v => {
if (order_id.indexOf(v) !== -1) {form.find('input[name="orderid"]').val(order_id.replace(v, ''))};
})
