Use the substring() method to get the substring before a specific character, e.g. const before = str. substring(0, str. indexOf('_')); . The substring method will return a new string containing the part of the string before the specified character.
Alternatively, you can use the str. split() method. To get the substring after a specific character: Use the split() method to split the string on the character.
The substr() method extracts a part of a string. The substr() method begins at a specified position, and returns a specified number of characters. The substr() method does not change the original string. To extract characters from the end of the string, use a negative start position.
The difference between substring() and substr()The two parameters of substr() are start and length , while for substring() , they are start and end . substr() 's start index will wrap to the end of the string if it is negative, while substring() will clamp it to 0 .
var streetaddress= addy.substr(0, addy.indexOf(',')); While it's not the best place for definitive information on what each method does (mozilla developer network is better for that) w3schools.com is good for introducing you to syntax.
