I have the string
var str = "A > B > C > D > E";
expected output:
E
Means i want to remove/replace all the string upto last > symbol, or before > symbol from last.
Javascript replace will do the trick, but i don't know how to write the pattern for this.
or can we do this by split method?
Using regex :
var str = "A > B > C > D > E";
var re = str.replace(/.*> /,"");
# print "E"
Goran's solution is correct and beautiful (because of the regex). However, here's an alternative using String's .split method:
var str = "A > B > C > D > E";
var letters = str.split(' > ');
var output = letters[letters.length - 1];
You can do it even simpler than using split or replace. Locate the last separator, and take the part of the string after that:
str = str.substr(str.lastIndexOf(' > ') + 3);
