Question

What would be the cleanest way of doing this that would work in both IE and Firefox?

My string looks like this sometext-20202

Now the sometext and the integer after the dash can be of varying length.

Should I just use substring and index of or are there other ways?

Answer 1

How I would do this:

// function you can use: function getSecondPart(str) {     return str.split('-')[1]; } // use the function: alert(getSecondPart('sometext-20202'));
