Remove a character at a certain position in a string - javascript [duplicate]

Question

Is there an easy way to remove the character at a certain position in javascript?

e.g. if I have the string "Hello World", can I remove the character at position 3?

the result I would be looking for would the following:

"Helo World" 

This question isn't a duplicate of How can I remove a character from a string using JavaScript?, because this one is about removing the character at a specific position, and that question is about removing all instances of a character.

Answer 1

It depends how easy you find the following, which uses simple String methods (in this case slice()).

var str = "Hello World";  str = str.slice(0, 3) + str.slice(4);  console.log(str)

Answer 2

You can try it this way!!

var str ="Hello World"; var position = 6;//its 1 based var newStr = str.substring(0,position - 1) + str.substring(postion, str.length); alert(newStr);
