jQuery 2.1.0 | Delete variable-length substrings in delimited string
I need to delete all substrings ending with a
$ symbol within a semi-colon delimited string. Sample string may look like this (spaces between semi-colon delimiters only for code clarity). Substrings are of variable lengths:
Final string should look like this: hi874hbf45 ; kk4746hghf ; 277dhcbh74 ; re6hdgf554 (these values are always same length each)
I'll use code below. It's the "replace" method I can't figure out. If I split the string and use something like:
var split = splittedString.slice(-10).join(' ; '); I get "join is not a function". Is there a way to simply delete substrings left of all $ (including $ ) down to preceding delimiters without splitting?
Thx for pointers. dan

- var string = $ ("#string" ).text();
- var finalString = string.replace( substrings left of all $ (including $) down to preceding delimiters ,"");
- $("#string").text(finalString);
