Replace last character of string using JavaScript
JavascriptStringJavascript Problem Overview
I have a very small query. I tried using concat, charAt, slice and whatnot but I didn't get how to do it.
Here is my string:
var str1 = "Notion,Data,Identity,"
I want to replace the last ,
with a .
it should look like this.
var str1 = "Notion,Data,Identity."
Can someone let me know how to achieve this?
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
You can do it with regex easily,
var str1 = "Notion,Data,Identity,".replace(/.$/,".")
.$
will match any character at the end of a string.
Solution 2 - Javascript
You can remove the last N characters of a string by using .slice(0, -N)
, and concatenate the new ending with +
.
var str1 = "Notion,Data,Identity,";
var str2 = str1.slice(0, -1) + '.';
console.log(str2);
Notion,Data,Identity.
Negative arguments to slice represents offsets from the end of the string, instead of the beginning, so in this case we're asking for the slice of the string from the beginning to one-character-from-the-end.
Solution 3 - Javascript
This isn't elegant but it's reusable.
term(str, char)
str:
string needing proper termination
char:
character to terminate string with
var str1 = "Notion,Data,Identity,";
function term(str, char) {
var xStr = str.substring(0, str.length - 1);
return xStr + char;
}
console.log(term(str1,'.'))
Solution 4 - Javascript
You can use simple regular expression
var str1 = "Notion,Data,Identity,"
str1.replace(/,$/,".")
