How to Remove Text from a String in JavaScript

Topic: JavaScript / jQueryPrev|Next

Answer: Use the replace() Method

You can simply use the replace() method to replace text or characters from a string in JavaScript. This method returns a new string without modifying the original string.

For instance, if you have strings like ID-123, ID-124, and so on and you want to remove the ID- part from the string, you can do something as shown in the following example:

// Sample string
var str = "ID-123";

// Replacing text by empty string
var newStr = str.replace("ID-", "");

console.log(newStr);  // Prints: 123
