Question

I have a string that looks like this:

var stringOriginal = "72157632110713449SomeDynamicText";

I want to separate this string into two substrings:

• One substring is the first 17 digits
• One substring is the rest of the string

I want these stored in two separate variables, like this:

var string1 = "72157632110713449"; //First static 17 digits
var string2 = "SomeDynamicText";   // Dynamic Text

Answer 1

This will split the string into vars given that the first 17 characters always go into string1 and the remainder into string2.

var string1 = stringOriginal.substring(0,17);
var string2 = stringOriginal.substring(17,stringOriginal.length);
