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!

• javascript
• jquery

• 1 try var response = val.substring(val.indexOf(":")); – blurfus Commented May 31, 2016 at 21:55
• 2 just use indexOf rather than lastIndexOf: val.substring(val.indexOf(':')) – Hamms Commented May 31, 2016 at 21:56

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(":"));

console.log(response); // ":111122:123123123"

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

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

alert(mobile);

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

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

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