We can collect part of a string by using substr JavaScript string function. This function is helpful in extracting a part of the string. We can collect the domain part or the userid part of an email address by using this function. Here we can supply start location and total number of char from the start location ( optional ) of the string and we can get the total string within these start and total values. Here is the syntax
my_string.substr('start_value','total_value')
Here start_value and total_value are optional. If both values are not given the full string is returned.
Let us start with an example.
var my_str="Welcome to www.plus2net.com"
document.write(my_str.substr(3))
The output will be come to www.plus2net.com
Now let us specify the total value and see the output.
var my_str="Welcome to www.plus2net.com"
document.write(my_str.substr(3,7))
The output will be come to
You can see we got the output from the 3rd position till we get required 7 chars.
