Question

I've got a data-123 string.

How can I remove data- from the string while leaving the 123?

Accepted Answer

var ret = "data-123".replace('data-','');
console.log(ret);   //prints: 123

Docs.

For all occurrences to be discarded use:

var ret = "data-123".replace(/data-/g,'');

PS: The replace function returns a new string and leaves the original string unchanged, so use the function return value after the replace() call.

Answer 2

This doesn't have anything to do with jQuery. You can use the JavaScript replace function for this:

var str = "data-123";
str = str.replace("data-", "");

You can also pass a regex to this function. In the following example, it would replace everything except numerics:

str = str.replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g, "");

Answer 3

You can use "data-123".replace('data-','');, as mentioned, but as replace() only replaces the FIRST instance of the matching text, if your string was something like "data-123data-" then

"data-123data-".replace('data-','');

will only replace the first matching text. And your output will be "123data-"

DEMO

So if you want all matches of text to be replaced in string you have to use a regular expression with the g flag like that:

"data-123data-".replace(/data-/g,'');

And your output will be "123"

Answer 4

You can use slice(), if you will know in advance how many characters need slicing off the original string. It returns characters between a given start point to an end point.

string.slice(start, end);

Here are some examples showing how it works:

var mystr = ("data-123").slice(5); // This just defines a start point so the output is "123"
var mystr = ("data-123").slice(5,7); // This defines a start and an end  so the output is "12"

Demo

Answer 5

Plain old JavaScript will suffice - jQuery is not necessary for such a simple task:

var myString = "data-123";
var myNewString = myString.replace("data-", "");

See: .replace() docs on MDN for additional information and usage.

Answer 6

Ex:-

var value="Data-123";
var removeData=value.replace("Data-","");
alert(removeData);

Hopefully this will work for you.

Answer 7

1- If is the sequences into your string:

let myString = "mytest-text";
let myNewString = myString.replace("mytest-", "");

the answer is text

2- if you whant to remove the first 3 characters:

"mytest-text".substring(3);

the answer is est-text

Answer 8

This little function I made has always worked for me :)

String.prototype.deleteWord = function (searchTerm) {
    var str = this;
    var n = str.search(searchTerm);
    while (str.search(searchTerm) > -1) {
        n = str.search(searchTerm);
        str = str.substring(0, n) + str.substring(n + searchTerm.length, str.length);
    }
    return str;
}

// Use it like this:
var string = "text is the cool!!";
string.deleteWord('the'); // Returns text is cool!!

I know it is not the best, but It has always worked for me :)

Answer 9

str.split('Yes').join('No');

This will replace all the occurrences of that specific string from original string.

Answer 10

I was used to the C# (Sharp) String.Remove method. In Javascript, there is no remove function for string, but there is substr function. You can use the substr function once or twice to remove characters from string. You can make the following function to remove characters at start index to the end of string, just like the c# method first overload String.Remove(int startIndex):

function Remove(str, startIndex) {
    return str.substr(0, startIndex);
}

and/or you also can make the following function to remove characters at start index and count, just like the c# method second overload String.Remove(int startIndex, int count):

function Remove(str, startIndex, count) {
    return str.substr(0, startIndex) + str.substr(startIndex + count);
}

and then you can use these two functions or one of them for your needs!

Example:

alert(Remove("data-123", 0, 5));

Output: 123

Using match() and Number() to return a number variable:

Number(("data-123").match(/\d+$/));

// strNum = 123

Here's what the statement above does...working middle-out:

str.match(/\d+$/) - returns an array containing matches to any length of numbers at the end of str. In this case it returns an array containing a single string item ['123'].
Number() - converts it to a number type. Because the array returned from .match() contains a single element Number() will return the number.
