Splitting String and taking out specific elements in node js

Question

I have Sample String like this

"Organisation/Guest/images/guestImage.jpg"

I need to take out Organisation,Guest separately. I have tried split() but can't get desired output.

Did you try "Organisation/Guest/images/guestImage.jpg".split('/') ? — Rayon

Using "Organisation/Guest/images/guestImage.jpg".split('/') I am getting [ 'Organisation', 'Guest', 'images', 'guestImage.jpg' ] in which I can easily get the elements of Array. Thanks Reyon. — Harry

var str = "Organisation/Guest/images/guestImage.jpg";
var res = str.split("/");
    
console.log(res[0]);
console.log(res[1]);

You can use of String.replace() along with regex

const regex = /Organisation\/|\/Organisation/;

console.log('Organisation/Guest/images/guestImage.jpg'.replace(regex, ''));

console.log('Guest/Organisation/images/guestImage.jpg'.replace(regex, ''));

console.log('Guest/images/guestImage.jpg/Organisation'.replace(regex, ''));

var yourString = "Organisation/Guest/images/guestImage.jpg";

yourString.split('/')
// this returns all the words in an array

yourString[0] // returns Organisation
yourString[1] // returns Guest and so on

When you run .split() on a string, it will return a new array with all the words in it. In the code I am splitting by the slash /

Then I save the new array in a variable. Now you should know we can access array properties like this: array[0] where 0 is the first index position or the first word, and so on.
