Question

I am constructing a URL and I have

escape($('#count_of_stations').html()

The problem is the value will come in like this

1 station
2 stations

I need to strip everything other then the first character, so is there a way to sent it with the ” station(s)”?

Answer 1

Would using substring work?

escape($('#count_of_stations').html().substring(0, 1));
