JavaScript Regex to remove text after a comma and the following word?
Let’s say the following is our string −
var sentence = 'My Name is John, Smith I live in US'; console.log("The original value="+sentence);
We need to remove the text after comma and the following word i.e. after removing “I live in US” and keeping the rest. This would be the resultant string −
My Name is John, Smith
For this, use match() along with split().
Example
var sentence = 'My Name is John, Smith I live in US'; console.log("The original value="+sentence); var expression = sentence.match(/([^,]*)(.*)/)[1]; var positionForComma = sentence.match(/([^,]*),(.*)/)[2].split(' ')[1] var newValue = expression + ', ' + positionForComma console.log("Updated="+newValue);
To run the above program, you need to use the following command −
node fileName.js.
Here, my file name is demo175.js.
Output
This will produce the following output −
PS C:\Users\Amit\javascript-code> node demo175.js The original value=My Name is John, Smith I live in US Updated=My Name is John, Smith
