Question

I am trying to keep the tail end of the split

myLink = link.split(/\d/, 2)[1]

However the string it is splitting

link = 1 some text 800 hello world

would get split like:

1,
some text

I end up losing the tail end 800 hello world.

What can I do to keep this information.

Answer 1

This is because you are passing a limit of 2 to the split function so you are only getting two results in your split array. Omit the 2 and you’ll get them all:

var splitArray = link.split(/\d/);
