String Manipulation Functions
String variables in JavaScript have a number of very useful string functions. Here's a sample of the most commonly used:
Operation / Function |
Example |
|---|---|
Concatenation |
var S1 = "Customer"; var S2 = "123456"; var S3 = S1 + " " + S2 + "could not be found"; |
IndexOf – finds first occurrence of a string in a string |
/* 012345678901 */ var S1 = "ABCDHELLOABC"; var pos = S1.indexOf("HELLO"); |
lastIndexOf - finds last occurrence of a string in a string |
/* 012345678901 */ var S1 = "ABCDHELLOABC"; var pos = S1.lastIndexOf("AB"); |
charAt – returns the character at a specific position in a string |
/* 012345678901 */ var S1 = "ABCDHELLOABC"; var S2 = S1.charAt(4); var S3 = S1.charAt(9); |
length – returns the length of a string |
/* 012345678901 */ var S1 = "ABCDHELLOABC"; var I = S1.length; |
substring – returns the substring of string using a starting and ending point. |
/* 01234567789 */ var a = "Hello World"; var b = a.substring(4,8); |
substr – returns the substring of a string using a starting position and a length |
/* 01234567789 */ var a = "Hello World"; var b = a.substr(2,3); |
toLowerCase – returns the lowercase of string |
var a = "Hello World"; var b = a.toLowerCase(); |
toUpperCase – returns the uppercase of a string |
var a = "Hello World"; var b = a.toUpperCase(); |
