Answer: Use the JavaScript substring() method

You can easily extract a substring out of a string using the JavaScript substring() method. The substring() method return substring based on the start (required) and end-position (optional) arguments. If end position is not specified it extracts the rest of the string.

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    var myStr = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
    var subStr = myStr.substring(4, 20);
    alert(subStr);
});
</script>
