I have a string which looks like this:
file:///storage/emulated/0/Pictures/IMG212.jpg
I want to remove anything from Pictures onwards so I would get this:
file:///storage/emulated/0/
How can I do this?
var regex = /^.*0\//
var matches = str.match(regex);
console.log(matches[0]);
You could find the index of /0 and use substring to select everything up to that point, like so:
const line = "file:///storage/emulated/0/Pictures/IMG212.jpg";
// Get the location of "/0", will be 24 in this example
const endIndex = line.indexOf("/0");
// Select everything from the start to the endIndex + 2
const result = line.substring(0, endIndex+2);
The reason why we add +2 to the endIndex is because the string that we're trying to find is 2 characters long:
file:///storage/emulated/0/Pictures/IMG212.jpg
[24]--^^--[25]
You can split the string using split method:
const myString = "file:///storage/emulated/0/Pictures/IMG212.jpg";
const result = myString.split("0/")[0] + "0/";
console.log(result); // file:///storage/emulated/0/
