Question

I’m receiving multiple strings from a API and sometimes I have a string that looks like this.

first part <!-- Slut på Mall: variable --> second part

I want to use jQuery to exclude the part before and the “Slut… variable –>“. Leaving me with the second part.

Just to be clear, the variable is dynamic and will change.

I have been playing around with replace, and match but so far I have failed. I have understood that regex is the way to go

regex = /Mall:.*\s+-->(.*)\z/

But I don’t know what function to use with that?

Answer 1

var secondPart = "<!--" + yourApiString.split("<!--")[1];

Will return <!-- Slut på Mall: variable --> second part
