How to use replace() to remove comma and strings before it with Jquery?

Question

First of all I have searched the answer for my query and couldn't find any which using replace() function.

In the following string, Strada Genova 204, 10024 Moncalieri I need to replace comma and the string before it with null, so, the outpt will be just 10024 Moncalieri

I tried $('.class-name').replace(/[^\,]*,(.*)/, "") and didnt work. Changed the regex part several times and nothing worked.

Maybe .replace(/[^,]*,/, "") will do? Why capture the rest with (.*)? — Wiktor Stribiżew

JQuery does not feature regex, the RegExp class is a JavaScript thing. You may run a regex replacement on strings. You need something like $('.class-name').text().replace(/.*,/, "") — Wiktor Stribiżew

But, there are lots of similar strings, cant do the string replacement for each and every string. — neenkart

Here is the solution to append new filtered text into the HTML element with a class name filtered

Note: Be sure to load jQuery from either locally or CDN.

HTML

<p class="class-name">Strada Genova 204, 10024 Moncalieri</p>
<p class="filtered"></p>

Javascript

$('.filtered').append($('.class-name').text().replace(/[\w\s]*,?\s?/, ""));

You can also use split(',') and get the last element in the array.

Like this:

Try this:

var str="Strada Genova 204, 10024 Moncalieri";
console.log(str.replace(/[^,]+,(\s+)?(.*)/g,"$2"));

[^,]+ Every thing not including , then , then (\s+)? if any withespaces and finally captured part (.*)
