substringAfter

Return the part of a string after a specified substring.

Installation

To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally

npm install -g @stdlib/string-substring-after-cli

Usage

Usage: substring-after [options] --search=<string> [<string>]

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.
         --search string       Search string.
         --from-index int      Start index. Default: 0.
         --split sep           Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.

Notes

• If the split separator is a regular expression, ensure that the split option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

  # Not escaped...
  $ echo -n $'foo\nbar\nbaz' | substring-after --search a --split /\r?\n/
  
  # Escaped...
  $ echo -n $'foo\nbar\nbaz' | substring-after --search a --split /\\r?\\n/

• The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

Examples

$ substring-after abcdefg --search d
efg

To use as a standard stream,

$ echo -n $'bar\nbaz' | substring-after --search b
ar
az

By default, when used as a standard stream, the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the split option.

$ echo -n 'bar\tbaz' | substring-after --search b --split '\t'
ar
az
