I have a user with the name Paul Steve Panakkal. It's a long name it won't fit to the div container. So is there anyway to split first name and last name from it using JavaScript or jQuery?
The name is got from PHP into a variable in JavaScript. This is then splitted using JS.
959
var fullName = "Paul Steve Panakkal". split(' '), firstName = fullName[0], lastName = fullName[fullName. length - 1];
The split() method splits a string into an array of substrings. The split() method returns the new array. The split() method does not change the original string. If (" ") is used as separator, the string is split between words.
separator: It is optional parameter. It defines the character or the regular expression to use for breaking the string. If not used, the same string is returned (single item array). limit: It is optional parameter. It is an integer which specifies the number of splits.
You can split a string by each character using an empty string('') as the splitter. In the example below, we split the same message using an empty string. The result of the split will be an array containing all the characters in the message string.
You should use the String.prototype.split() method:
'Paul Steve Panakkal'.split(' '); // returns ["Paul", "Steve", "Panakkal"] You can use it this way:
'Paul Steve Panakkal'.split(' ').slice(0, -1).join(' '); // returns "Paul Steve" 'Paul Steve Panakkal'.split(' ').slice(-1).join(' '); // returns "Panakkal" So in common:
var firstName = fullName.split(' ').slice(0, -1).join(' '); var lastName = fullName.split(' ').slice(-1).join(' '); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
