Question

I’m using jQuery and have retrieved a string containing all the classes of an element like this:

var classes = $('[class^="menu-icon-"]').attr('class');

The string prints something like this: “foo menu-icon-icon-name bar”

How can find out what the “icon-name” part in the string is, whatever it may be?

It will always be with a class formatted as “menu-icon-{icon-name-here}” among whatever other classes the element may contain.

Answer 1

This works in all cases-

var menuname = classes.substr(classes.indexOf("menu-icon") + 10).split(" ")[0];
