substringAfter

Return the part of a string after a specified substring.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/string-substring-after

Usage

var substringAfter = require( '@stdlib/string-substring-after' );

substringAfter( str, search[, fromIndex] )

Returns the part of a string after a specified substring.

var str = 'beep boop';
var out = substringAfter( str, 'o' );
// returns 'op'

out = substringAfter( str, ' ' );
// returns 'boop'

By default, the search starts at the beginning of the string. To start searching from a different index, provide a fromIndex argument:

var str = 'boop baz boop';
var out = substringAfter( str, 'o', 3 );
// returns 'op'

Notes

• If a substring is not present in a provided string, the function returns an empty string.
• If provided an empty substring, the function returns the input string.
• If fromIndex is less than 0 or greater than str.length, the search starts at index 0 and str.length, respectively.

Examples

var substringAfter = require( '@stdlib/string-substring-after' );

var str = 'To be, or not to be, that is the question.';
var out = substringAfter( str, ', ' );
// returns 'or not to be, that is the question.'

out = substringAfter( str, 'to be' );
// returns ', that is the question.'

out = substringAfter( str, 'question.' );
// returns ''

out = substringAfter( str, 'xyz' );
// returns ''

out = substringAfter( str, '' );
// returns 'To be, or not to be, that is the question.'
