Error while removing the trailing comma using javascript

Question

var checked1 = JSON.parse(Cookies.get('checkedValues'));

Now the checked1 contains: ,1

I used the following code to remove the trailing comma.

var checked = checked1.replace(/(^,)|(,$)/g, "");

But now i'm getting an error

Uncaught TypeError: checked1.replace is not a function

"Now the checked1 contains: ,1" <- I highly doubt that unless you're referring to a property value within the checked1 object — Phil

You cannot use the replace function on an object, only a string. JSON.parse() returns an object. — Robert Cooper

Try this

var checked1 = JSON.parse(Cookies.get('checkedValues').replace(/(^,)|(,$)/g, ""));

var checked1 = JSON.parse(Cookies.get('checkedValues')).toString();

It Worked. The question was actually answered by Brian. But he removed his answer.

var checked= JSON.stringify(checkedValue); Cookies.set('checkedValues', checked); //cookie was set using JSON.stringify.

If it is already stringify , you can replace the ,1 without parseing the cookie..

is it? anyway now the problem solved. thank you for the suggestion.
