How to split a string after a particular character in jquery

Question

Here is my code :

var string1= "Hello how are =you";

I want a string after "=" i.e. "you" only from this whole string. Suppose the string will always have one "=" character and i want all the string after that character in a new variable in jquery.

Please help me out.

Answer 1

Demo Fiddle

Use this : jQuery split(),

var string1= "Hello how are =you";
string1 = string1.split('=')[1];

Split gives you two outputs:

• [0] = "Hello how are "

• [1] = "you"

Answer 2

Try to use String.prototype.substring() in this context,

var string1= "Hello how are =you"; 
var result = string1.substring(string1.indexOf('=') + 1);
