Possible Duplicates:
Splitting in string in JavaScript
javascript startswith

Hello
I have a string in javascript and I need to manipulate it. The string format is as follow

xxx_yyy

I need to:

• reproduce the behaviour of the string.StartsWith("xxx_") in c#
• split the string in two strings as I would do with string.Split("_") in c#

any help ?

Answer 1

There’s no jQuery needed here, just plain JavaScript has all you need with .indexOf() and .split(), for example:

var str = "xxx_yyy";
var startsWith = str.indexOf("xxx_") === 0;
var stringArray = str.split("_");

You can test it out here.
