How can i remove from a string between two indexOf

i have this jsFiddle

here is my code :

 var x = "M 178.6491699876038 23.419570090792845 C 183.6491699876038 
23.419570090792845 186.47776067057902 30.902823043098138 190.3670728596699 
     41.19229585251793 L 194.25638504876076 51.48176866193772" ; 
  var c = x.indexOf('C') ; 
  var L = x.indexOf('L') ;
  var final = x.slice (c,L) ;
  console.log(final) ;

this code will result in returning the removed part of the string

QUESTION how can i return the original string after removing the part between C and L

​

Answer 1

Just replace that part of the original string with nothing :

var x = "M 178.6491699876038 23.419570090792845 C 183.6491699876038 23.419570090792845 186.47776067057902 30.902823043098138 190.3670728596699 41.19229585251793 L 194.25638504876076 51.48176866193772" ; 
var c = x.indexOf('C') ; 
var L = x.indexOf('L') ;

var final = x.slice (c,L) ;
console.log(x.replace(final, ''));
