I am pulling content from an RSS feed, before using jquery to format and edit the rss feed (string) that is returned. I am using replace
to replace strings and characters like so:
var spanish = $("#wod a").text();
var newspan = spanish.replace("=","-");
$("#wod a").text(newspan);
This works great. I am also trying to remove all text after a certain point. Similar to truncation, I would like to hide all text starting from the word "Example".
In this particular RSS feed, the word example is in every feed. I would like to hide "example"
and all text the follows that word. How can I accomplish this?
Though there is not enough jQuery, you even don't need it to remove everything after a certain word in the given string. The first approach is to use substring
:
var new_str = str.substring(0, str.indexOf("Example"));
The second is a trick with split
:
var new_str = str.split("Example")[0];
If you also want to keep "Example" and just remove everything after that particular word, you can do:
var str = "aaaa1111?bbb&222:Example=123456",
newStr = str.substring(0, str.indexOf('Example') + 'Example'.length);
// will output: aaaa1111?bbb&222:Example
jQuery isn't intended for string manipulation, you should use Vanilla JS for that:
newspan = newspan.replace(/example.*$/i, "");
The .replace()
method accepts a regular expression, so in this case I've used /example.*$/i
which does a case-insensitive match against the word "example" followed by zero or more of any other characters to the end of the string and replaces them with an empty string.
