Question

I have an array of options:

var options = ["foo_A", "foo_B", "foo_C", "foo_D"];

…and when a user clicks on one of the following elements…

<div id="bar_A"> </div>
<div id="bar_B"> </div>
<div id="bar_C"> </div>
<div id="bar_D"> </div>

…it sets the following variable:

var currentBar = $(this).attr('id');

…and then I’d like to search through the options array and find the item whose suffix matches that of currentBar, something like this:

 $.each(options, function(i,v){
 if (v's suffix matches the currentBar's suffix){

 //function to do something

}

Answer 1

$.each(options, function(i,v){
    if (options[i].split("_")[1] == currentBar.split("_")[1]){

   //function to do something

}
