Concatenation of array of strings

Question

I have the following, I am creating a link dynamically I am stuck with concatenation of a split.

link = "<li><span id='number'>" + link.split(" ")[0] + ".</span>" // Adding a "peroid" character after the reason number and make it bold 
        + "<a href='#" + reasonTitle + "' " // Open link tag off adding href with relevant reference
        + "onclick=\"_gaq.push([\'_trackEvent\', \'" + experimentConversionReference + "\', \'ReasonClicked\', \'" + reasonTitleSpaces + "\'])\;\">" // Adding event tracking for google
        + link.split(/\d/)[1] // Add back on the back end of the split string
        + "</a>" // Close link tag off
        + "</li>";

More specifically line 4 on the above I want to grab and print everything in the array from [1] and up how can I do this?

What I don't want is to do

link.split(/\d/)[1] + link.split(/\d/)[2]  + link.split(/\d/)[3]  + link.split(/\d/)[]

and so on.

You should consider adopting a template framework, e.g. github.com/janl/mustache.js. — Henrik Aasted Sørensen

Use this:

link.split(/\d/).slice(1).join('')

This is great however I loose the number on from the second split. 1 My Example 200 String. would return "My Example String" when I want "My Example 200 string"

@Anicho I thought, that you had problems only with spliting and concating, so I have provided the solution for resolving only that :).

You don't need to split, just get the part of the string after the space:

link.substr(link.indexOf(" ") + 1);

Split and join, excluding first item:

var joined  = link.split(/\d/);
joined .shift(); // remove first item
joined .join(''); // join the array

And then use it like:

link = "<li><span id='number'>" + link.split(" ")[0] + ".</span>" // Adding a "peroid" character after the reason number and make it bold 
        + "<a href='#" + reasonTitle + "' " // Open link tag off adding href with relevant reference
        + "onclick=\"_gaq.push([\'_trackEvent\', \'" + experimentConversionReference + "\', \'ReasonClicked\', \'" + reasonTitleSpaces + "\'])\;\">" // Adding event tracking for google
        + joined // Add back on the back end of the split string
        + "</a>" // Close link tag off
        + "</li>";
