I am having problems removing the baseUrl from a Url.
I have to string
var baseUrl = 'https://www.stackoverflow.com';
var Url = 'https://www.stackoverflow.com/test/number/';
Url.replace(baseUrl, "");
Now i would expect the result to be /test/number/ but it does not remove the first part of the string.
The Code is an example. I do not always know for sure if the baseUrl is a substring so I cannot cut the length.
Any Ideas?
You need to update the string by returning value of String#replace method since the method won't updates the string.
var baseUrl = 'https://www.stackoverflow.com';
var Url = 'https://www.stackoverflow.com/test/number/';
Url = Url.replace(baseUrl, "");
console.log(Url);Using String#substring and String#indexOf methods.
var baseUrl = 'https://www.stackoverflow.com';
var Url = 'https://www.stackoverflow.com/test/number/';
var i = Url.indexOf(baseUrl);
Url = Url.substring(0,i) + Url.substring(i + baseUrl.length);
console.log(Url);Also another solution I found in Stackoverflow. How to replace all occurrences of a string in JavaScript?
function replaceAll(str, find, replace) {
return str.replace(new RegExp(find, 'g'), replace);
}
