Get everything after the dash in a string in JavaScript
How I would do this:
// function you can use:
function getSecondPart(str) {
return str.split('-')[1];
}
// use the function:
alert(getSecondPart("sometext-20202"));
A solution I prefer would be:
const str = 'sometext-20202';
const slug = str.split('-').pop();
Where slug
would be your result
var testStr = "sometext-20202"
var splitStr = testStr.substring(testStr.indexOf('-') + 1);
var the_string = "sometext-20202";
var parts = the_string.split('-', 2);
// After calling split(), 'parts' is an array with two elements:
// parts[0] is 'sometext'
// parts[1] is '20202'
var the_text = parts[0];
var the_num = parts[1];
