I want to delete the first word "Mon" with javascript jQuery. How can i do this ?

Answer 1

If you don't want to split the string (faster, less memory consumed), you can use indexOf() with substr():

var original = "Mon 25-Jul-2011";
var result = original.substr(original.indexOf(" ") + 1);

Answer 2

var string = "Mon 25-Jul-2011";
var parts = string.split(' ');
parts.shift(); // parts is modified to remove first word
var result;
if (parts instanceof Array) {
  result = parts.join(' ');
}
else {
  result = parts;
}
// result now contains all but the first word of the string.

Answer 3

I wanted to remove first word from each items in Array of strings. I did that using split, slice, join.

var str = "Mon 25-Jul-2011"
var newStr = str.split(' ').slice(1).join(' ')
console.log(str)

Run this code in console you will get the expected string.
