Let’s say I have these strings (each new line being a separate string):

EducationLink
BioLink
InterestsLink

And I wanted to extract the part that’s not “Link” using Javascript. How would I do this? The expected results are

Education
Bio
Interests

I tried a Regex, but I’m not very experienced with them, and it failed:

/^ (^Link) $/

Using string functions such as slice() and substr(), I only got the values to the right of the selected text, not to the left as desired.

Thanks for your help.

    you can use .replace()

    'EducationLink'.replace('Link', ''); //returns Education

    The thing is you CAN use regex to do this replace, but being such a simple scenario (unless there is more to it) why would you overcomplicate things?
