I have a string like this below:
var st = "ROAM-Synergy-111-222-LLX "
It can have any no. of terms before the numeric values ..ie. its possible formats are:
var st = "SSI-ROAM-Synergy-111-222-LLX " or
var st = "LCD-SSI-ROAM-Synergy-111-222-LLX" etc..
Now I need to fetch only the terms before numeric values in this string. ie. "SSI-ROAM-Synergy" or "LCD-SSI-ROAM-Synergy"
I am using like this:
var finalString = st.split("-");
but how to get only the terms before numeric values.
You can use:
var myval = st.match(/^\D+(?=-)/)[0];
//=> SSI-ROAM-Synergy OR LCD-SSI-ROAM-Synergy
Explanation:
^ assert position at start of the string
\D+ match any character that's not a digit [^0-9]
Quantifier: Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible
(?=-) Positive Lookahead - Assert that the regex below can be matched
- matches the character - literally
nLight-SSI-RELOC-RTLED-Synergy when input is nLight-SSI-RELOC-RTLED-Synergy-345-777-LLA Replacement Is that incorrect?try with the following code
<script>
var yourString = "ROAM-Synergy-111-222-LLX ";
var output=retriveStartString(yourString);
alert(output);
function retriveStartString(inputString){
var newString="";
for (i=0;i<inputString.length;i++) {
var subStr=inputString.substr(i,1);
//alert(subStr);
if(subStr.charCodeAt(0)>=48 && subStr.charCodeAt(0)<=57){
break;
}
else{
newString+=subStr;
}
}
return newString;
}
</script>
b="LCD-SSI-ROAM-Synergy-111-222-LLX".match(/^.+?-[0-9]/)[0].split("-");
b.pop();
Here output of b will be ["LCD", "SSI", "ROAM", "Synergy"]
Here is another way using a combination of indexOf, match and substr.
var st = "ROAM-Synergy-111-222-LLX";
var lIdx = st.indexOf(st.match(/-\d/));
console.log(st.substr(0, (lIdx >= 0) ? lIdx : st.length));
