How do i get a particular value from a string after a character?

Question

I have a string like

const str = 'Y|NAME|ROLE'

I want to get values after the |icon.

For the first character 'Y' i just used charAt(0) function. How do I get the values like NAME or ROLE no matter what their size

Answer 1

Just split it.

 const str = 'Y|NAME|ROLE'; var fields = str.split('|'); console.log(fields[0]);//prints Y console.log(fields[1]);//prints Name console.log(fields[2]);//prints ROLE
