Question

Ive got this problem where I need to check an arrayposition if the string contains this at the start:

as-se-gbg-XXXXXXXXXX-XXX-XX

I just need to check if the string contains the as-se-gbg stuff and then return it as
Sweden, Gothenburg.

I tried to use this method:

if(b == "as-se-gbg") {
return("Göteborg");

But the == operator is trying to match the hole string…

And the other stuff thats marked xxxxxx isnt anything important at all…

Id be glad if there is anyone that could help me with this problem 😀

Best Regards,

You need to use a regex match:

if(b.match(/^as-se-gbg-/) {
    return "Göteborg";
}
