Remove text from string not working

Question

I have this string: "gss_save,cls,x_value". I want to convert it to "x_value". I tried this:

//var cls is "gss_save,cls,x_value";
var fnl = cls.replace('gss_save,cls,','');
console.log(fnl);

As suggested by other answers in this site, but I get: Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function in line var fnl = cls.replace('gss_save,cls,','');. Expecting to get "x_value".

That works fine for me. Can you show more code? jsfiddle.net/BloodyKnuckles/n9fjhLaj — bloodyKnuckles

Another way is

var fnl = cls.split(',');
fnl= fnl[fnl.length-1]
console.log(fnl);

You need a 'regex pattern' which looks like /.../ without quotation marks!

string.replace(pattern, replacement)

Example:

var str = "gss_save,cls,x_value";
var pattern = /gss_save,cls,/;
var res = str.replace(pattern, "");
