Question

I am using this code to check sub string value on the page.

if ((col == 4 || col == 6) && ((text.substr(0, 1) == "%") || (text.substr(0, 1) == "@") || (text.substr(0, 1) == " "))) {
    GetVariableDescription(pageIndex, row, col, text);
}

When I am trying the Code with %0012 or %00AA or @1234 or @ABDJC
It’s working good but when I am entering AAAk or 1234 or ASJA
It’s not validating

Is that something I am doing wrong here? this condition is not true?

(text.substr(0, 1) == " ")

Answer 1

Obviously that’s because the first character of AAAk isn’t a space

alert("AAAk".substr(0,1)==" ");​​​​​​ //false
alert(" AAAk".substr(0,1)==" "); //true
