Question

I am trying to write this function to grab the text value and then strip the text from after the – symbol and the – symbol itself. eg

some text – is found

would become

some text

This is what iv got so far currently it just removes the –

$.keynav.enterDown = function () {
      var accom = $('#suggestions p.keynavon').text().replace(/-/g,'');

    alert(accom);

       $('#search input#q').val(accom);
      $("#form").submit();

}

Answer 1

var text = "some text - is found";
var accom = text.split("-")[0];
alert(accom); // some text
