How to remove all characters before specific character in array data

I have a comma-separated string being pulled into my application from a web service, which lists a user's roles. What I need to do with this string is turn it into an array, so I can then process it for my end result. I've successfully converted the string to an array with jQuery, which is goal #1. Goal #2, which I don't know how to do, is take the newly created array, and remove all characters before any array item that contains '/', including '/'.
I created a simple work-in-progress JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/2Lfo4966/
The string I receive is the following:
ABCD,ABCD/Admin,ABCD/DataManagement,ABCD/XYZTeam,ABCD/DriverUsers,ABCD/RISC
ABCD/ in the string above can change, and may be XYZ, MNO, etc.
To convert to an array, I've done the following:
var importUserRole = 'ABCD,ABCD/Admin,ABCD/DataManagement,ABCD/XYZTeam,ABCD/DriverUsers,ABCD/RISC';
var currentUserRole = importUserRole.split(',');
Using console.log, I get the following result:
["ABCD", "ABCD/Admin", "ABCD/DataManagement", "ABCD/XYZTeam", "ABCD/DriverUsers", "ABCD/RISC"]
I'm now at the point where I need the code to look at each index of array, and if / exists, remove all characters before / including /.
I've searched for a solution, but the JS solutions I've found are for removing characters after a particular character, and are not quite what I need to get this done.

You can use a single for loop to go through the array, then split() the values by / and retrieve the last value of that resulting array using pop(). Try this:
for (var i = 0; i < currentUserRole.length; i++) {
var data = currentUserRole[i].split('/');
currentUserRole[i] = data.pop();
}
Example fiddle
The benefit of using pop() over an explicit index, eg [1], is that this code won't break if there are no or multiple slashes within the string.
You could go one step further and make this more succinct by using map():
var importUserRole = 'ABCD,ABCD/Admin,ABCD/DataManagement,ABCD/XYZTeam,ABCD/DriverUsers,ABCD/RISC';
var currentUserRole = importUserRole.split(',').map(function(user) {
return user.split('/').pop();
});
console.log(currentUserRole);

You can loop through the array and perform this string replace:
currentUserRole.forEach(function (role) {
role = role.replace(/(.*\/)/g, '');
});

$(document).ready(function(){
var A=['ABCD','ABCD/Admin','ABCD/DataManagement','ABCD/XYZTeam','ABCD/DriverUsers','ABCD/RISC'];
$.each(A,function(i,v){
if(v.indexOf('/')){
var e=v.split('/');
A[i]=e[e.length-1];
}
})
console.log(A);
});

You could replace the unwanted parts.
var array = ["ABCD", "ABCD/Admin", "ABCD/DataManagement", "ABCD/XYZTeam", "ABCD/DriverUsers", "ABCD/RISC"];
array = array.map(function (a) {
return a.replace(/^.*\//, '');
});
console.log(array);

var importUserRole = 'ABCD,ABCD/Admin,ABCD/DataManagement,ABCD/XYZTeam,ABCD/DriverUsers,ABCD/RISC';
var currentUserRole = importUserRole.split(',');
for(i=0;i<currentUserRole.length;i++ ){
result = currentUserRole[i].split('/');
if(result[1]){
console.log(result[1]+'-'+i);
}
else{
console.log(result[0]+'-'+i);
}
}
In console, you will get required result and array index

I would do like this;
var iur = 'ABCD,ABCD/Admin,ABCD/DataManagement,ABCD/XYZTeam,ABCD/DriverUsers,ABCD/RISC',
arr = iur.split(",").map(s => s.split("/").pop());
console.log(arr);

You can use the split method as you all ready know string split method and then use the pop method that will remove the last index of the array and return the value remove pop method
var importUserRole = ABCD,ABCD/Admin,ABCD/DataManagement,ABCD/XYZTeam,ABCD/DriverUsers,ABCD/RISC';
var currentUserRole = importUserRole.split(',');
for(var x = 0; x < currentUserRole.length; x++;){
var data = currentUserRole[x].split('/');
currentUserRole[x] = data.pop();
}
Here is a long way
You can iterate the array as you have done then check if includes the caracter '/' you will take the indexOf and substact the string after the '/'
substring method in javaScript
var importUserRole = 'ABCD,ABCD/Admin,ABCD/DataManagement,ABCD/XYZTeam,ABCD/DriverUsers,ABCD/RISC';
var currentUserRole = importUserRole.split(',');
for(var x = 0; x < currentUserRole.length; x++){
if(currentUserRole[x].includes('/')){
var lastIndex = currentUserRole[x].indexOf('/');
currentUserRole[x] = currentUserRole[x].substr(lastIndex+1);
}
}

how to split the textarea into parts in javascript

I am trying to open the 5 urls inputted by the user in the textarea
But the array is not taking the url separately instead taking them altogether:
function loadUrls()
{
var myurl=new Array();
for(var i=0;i<5;i++)
{
myurl[i] = document.getElementById("urls").value.split('\n');
window.open(myurl[i]);
}
}

You only should need to split the text contents once. Then iterate over each item in that array. I think what you want is:
function loadUrls() {
var myurls = document.getElementById("urls").value.split('\n');
for(var i=0; i<myurls.length; i++) {
window.open(myurls[i]);
}
}

Here's a working example:
var input = document.getElementById('urls');
var button = document.getElementById('open');
button.addEventListener('click', function() {
var urls = input.value.split('\n');
urls.forEach(function(url){
window.open(url);
});
});
<button id="open">Open URLs</button>
<textarea id="urls"></textarea>
Note that nowadays browsers take extra steps to block popups. Look into developer console for errors.

There are a couple issues I see with this.
You are declaring a new Array and then adding values by iterating through 5 times. What happens if they put in more than 5? Or less?
split returns a list already of the split items. So if you have a String: this is a test, and split it by spaces it will return: [this, is, a, test]. There for you don't need to split the items and manually add them to a new list.
I would suggest doing something like:
var myUrls = document.getElementById("urls").value.split('\n');
for (var i = 0; i < myUrls.length; i++) {
window.open(myUrls[i]);
}
However, as others suggested, why not just use multiple inputs instead of a text area? It would be easier to work with and probably be more user friendly.

Basically:
document.getElementById("urls").value.split('\n');
returns an array with each line from textarea. To get the first line you must declare [0] after split the function because it will return the first item in Array, as split will be returning an Array with each line from textarea.
document.getElementById("urls").value.split('\n')[0];
Your function could simplify to:
function loadUrls(){
var MyURL = document.getElementById("urls").value.split('\n');//The lines
for(var i=0, Length = MyURL.length; Length > i; i++)
//Loop from 0 to length of URLs
window.open(
MyURL[i]//Open URL in array by current loop position (i)
)
}
Example:
line_1...
line_2...
... To:
["line_1","line_2"]

How to get the 'Value' using 'Key' from json in Javascript/Jquery

I have the following Json string. I want to get the 'Value' using 'Key', something like
giving 'BtchGotAdjust' returns 'Batch Got Adjusted';
var jsonstring=
[{"Key":"BtchGotAdjust","Value":"Batch Got Adjusted"},{"Key":"UnitToUnit","Value":"Unit To Unit"},]

Wow... Looks kind of tough! Seems like you need to manipulate it a bit. Instead of functions, we can create a new object this way:
var jsonstring =
[{"Key":"BtchGotAdjust","Value":"Batch Got Adjusted"},{"Key":"UnitToUnit","Value":"Unit To Unit"},];
var finalJSON = {};
for (var i in jsonstring)
finalJSON[jsonstring[i]["Key"]] = jsonstring[i]["Value"];
You can use it using:
finalJSON["BtchGotAdjust"]; // Batch Got Adjusted

As you have an array in your variable, you have to loop over the array and compare against the Key-Property of each element, something along the lines of this:
for (var i = 0; i < jsonstring.length; i++) {
if (jsonstring[i].Key === 'BtchGotAdjust') {
console.log(jsonstring[i].Value);
}
}
By the way, I think your variable name jsonstring is a little misleading. It does not contain a string. It contains an array. Still, the above code should give you a hint in the right direction.

Personally I would create a map from the array and then it acts like a dictionary giving you instantaneous access. You also only have to iterate through the array once to get all the data you need:
var objectArray = [{"Key":"BtchGotAdjust","Value":"Batch Got Adjusted"},{"Key":"UnitToUnit","Value":"Unit To Unit"}]
var map = {}
for (var i=0; i < objectArray.length; i++){
map[objectArray[i].Key] = objectArray[i]
}
console.log(map);
alert(map["BtchGotAdjust"].Value)
alert(map["UnitToUnit"].Value)

I want to loop through an array and modify attributes

Here is my code
var input_buttons = ["#one","#two","#three"];
var substr = input_buttons.split(',');
for(var i=0; i< substr.length; i++)
{
substr.attr('value', '');
}
Why doesn't this work?

Your first problem is calling split(',') on an array. However, if you just want to set the values of all those to a blank string you can do:
$('#one,#two,#three').val('');
If you want to set different values you'd need to loop through:
$('#one,#two,#three').each(function() {
// this == the HTML node (not a jQuery element)
this.value = someValue; // someValue would set outside
};

You already have an array, there is nothing to split, this only works on strings. You'd also have to pass the ID to jQuery before you can cal attr. In this case val is even better.
var input_buttons = ["#one","#two","#three"];
for(var i=input_buttons.length; i--;) {
$(input_buttons[i]).val('');
}
But shorter would be using the multiple selector:
$('#one, #two, #three').val('');
or if you already have the array, create a string by joining the IDs:
$(input_buttons.join(',')).val('');

I'm wondering why you are calling:
var substr = input_buttons.split(',');
By the nature of your input_buttons, you already have an array. All you should have to do is:
var input_buttons = ["#one","#two","#three"];
for(var i=0; i< substr.length; i++)
{
$(input_buttons[i]).attr('value', '');
}

var input_buttons = ["#one","#two","#three"];
$.each(input_buttons, function(idx, value) {
$(value).val('');
});
Or even better and shorter:
$('#one, #two, #three').val('');
You could also give those elements a common class name and then use this:
$('.className').val('');

your array contains just the id but not the actual object
try this
var input_buttons = ["#one","#two","#three"];
for(var i=0; i< input_buttons.length; i++)
{
$(input_buttons[i]).removeAttr('value');
}

input_buttons is already an array - don't split it.
To use .attr you need it to be a jquery object, so call $(input_buttons[i]).attr

Try the following to remove an attribute:
var input_buttons = ["#one","#two","#three"];
for(var i=0; i< input_buttons.length; i++)
{
$(input_buttons[i]).removeAttr('value');
}
The reason your code does not work is in the overloading of jQuery functions. .attr('value', '') evaluates to .attr('value'), which returns the value of value as opposed to setting it. The reason is that '' evaluates to false.

javascript - get all anchor tags and compare them to an array

I have been trying forever but it is just not working, how can I check the array of urls I got (document.getElementsByTagName('a').href;) to see if any of the websites are in another array?

getElementByTagName gives you a nodelist (an array of nodes).
var a = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var idx= 0; idx < a.length; ++idx){
console.log(a[idx].href);
}
I really suggest that you use a frame work for this, like jquery. It makes your life so much easier.
Example with jquery:
$("a").each(function(){
console.log(this.href);
});

var linkcheck = (function(){
if(!Array.indexOf){
Array.prototype.indexOf = function(obj){
for(var i=0; i<this.length; i++){
if(this[i]===obj){
return i;
}
}
return -1;
}
}
var url_pages = [], anchor_nodes = []; // this is where you put the resulting urls
var anchors = document.links; // your anchor collection
var i = anchors.length;
while (i--){
var a = anchors[i];
anchor_nodes.push(a); // push the node object in case that needs to change
url_pages.push(a.href); // push the href attribute to the array of hrefs
}
return {
urlsOnPage: url_pages,
anchorTags: anchor_nodes,
checkDuplicateUrls: function(url_list){
var duplicates = []; // instantiate a blank array
var j = url_list.length;
while(j--){
var x = url_list[j];
if (url_pages.indexOf(x) > -1){ // check the index of each item in the array.
duplicates.push(x); // add it to the list of duplicate urls
}
}
return duplicates; // return the list of duplicates.
},
getAnchorsForUrl: function(url){
return anchor_nodes[url_pages.indexOf(url)];
}
}
})()
// to use it:
var result = linkcheck.checkDuplicateUrls(your_array_of_urls);
This is a fairly straight forward implementation of a pure JavaScript method for achieving what I believe the spec calls for. This also uses closures to give you access to the result set at any time, in case your list of urls changes over time and the new list needs to be checked. I also added the resulting anchor tags as an array, since we are iterating them anyway, so you can change their properties on the fly. And since it might be useful to have there is a convenience method for getting the anchor tag by passing the url (first one in the result set). Per the comments below, included snippet to create indexOf for IE8 and switched document.getElementsByTagName to document.links to get dynamic list of objects.

Using Jquery u can do some thing like this-
$('a').each(function(){
if( urls.indexOf(this.href) !- -1 )
alert('match found - ' + this.href );
})
urls is the your existing array you need to compare with.
