Question

To simplify my question using the statement below, how can I have my javascript always print to console what the user typed?

A blip from my code

if (userTyped === 'getname '+ variable) {

Where ‘variable’ will always equal whatever last half of the string they typed. For example, if a user types “getname 398502” then log it to the console, or if a user types “getname 598024” then log that to the console.

So as long as they typed ‘getname ‘ then print all of what they typed.

Answer 1

You will want to make sure 'getname ' is at the start of your string:

if (userTyped.indexOf('getname ') === 0) {
    console.log(userTyped);
}
