Question

I have some JSON parsed, but I would like to take a link I get from the JSON, find an identifier in the link that makes it different (e.g. http://www.foo.com/IDENTIFIER/home), and have that identifier as a string to plug into another function that uses the identifier.

Here’s the code where I try to use indexOf to find the preidentifier path index so I can then get the index of the identifier after it (that code hasn’t been written yet because I’m stuck here). This also uses JSONP.

$.jsonp({
    "url": "http://foo.com&callback=?",
    "data": {
    "alt": "json-in-script"
    },
    "success": function (data) {
        var link = data[0].link;
        var jsonText = JSON.stringify(link);

        // the below code returns string
        console.log('jsonText string?'+typeof jsonText); 

        // the below code returns that this method has no object indexOf
        var index = jsonText.indexof("pre-identifier-path/"); 

    },
    "error": function () {
    }
});

Thank you for your time, sorry if this a tad confusing.

The method should be named indexOf, it’s case sensitive. Ex.:

jsonText.indexOf("pre-identifier-path/");
