Get everything after first character

Question

Is it possible to get all strings after a the first character?

var val = 'asdasd:111122:123123123';
var response = val.substring(val.lastIndexOf(":")+1);

alert(response ); // "123123123"
// Would like: ":111122:123123123"

Thank you!

Answer 1

Use indexOf(...) instead of lastIndexOf(...)

If you want to include the ":" then do not add one to the index.

Like this:

 var val = 'asdasd:111122:123123123'; var response = val.substring(val.indexOf(":")); alert(response); // ":111122:123123123"

Answer 2

var mobileWithCode="+91-9842505145";//mobile value with nation code

mobile = mobileWithCode.substring(mobileWithCode.indexof("-"));

alert(mobile);

Answer 3

Just Remove +1 And Go ahead your code will work fine

var response = val.substring(val.lastIndexOf(":"));

alert(response); // Would Become: ":111122:123123123"
