Question

I’m trying to find a specific character, for example ‘?’ and then remove all text behind the char until I hit a whitespace.

So that:

var string = '?What is going on here?';
Then the new string would be: 'is going on here';

I have been using this:

var mod_content = content.substring(content.indexOf(' ') + 1);

But this is not valid anymore, since the specific string also can be in the middle of a string also.

I haven’t really tried anything but this. I have no idea at all how to do it.

Answer 1

use:

string = string.replace(/\?\S*\s+/g, '');

Update:
If want to remove the last ? too, then use

string = string.replace(/\?\S*\s*/g, '');
