JavaScript Split, Split string by last DOT "."

JavaScript Split,
str = '123.2345.34' ,
expected output 123.2345 and 34
Str = 123,23.34.23
expected output 123,23.34 and 23
Goal : JS function to Split a string based on dot(from last) in O(n).
There may be n number of ,.(commas or dots) in string.

In order to split a string matching only the last character like described you need to use regex "lookahead".
This simple example works for your case:
var array = '123.2345.34'.split(/\.(?=[^\.]+$)/);
console.log(array);
Example with destructuring assignment (Ecmascript 2015)
const input = 'jquery.somePlugin.v1.6.3.js';
const [pluginName, fileExtension] = input.split(/\.(?=[^\.]+$)/);
console.log(pluginName, fileExtension);
However using either slice or substring with lastIndexOf also works, and albeit less elegant it's much faster:
var input = 'jquery.somePlugin.v1.6.3.js';
var period = input.lastIndexOf('.');
var pluginName = input.substring(0, period);
var fileExtension = input.substring(period + 1);
console.log(pluginName, fileExtension);

var str = "filename.to.split.pdf"
var arr = str.split("."); // Split the string using dot as separator
var lastVal = arr.pop(); // Get last element
var firstVal = arr.join("."); // Re-join the remaining substrings, using dot as separator
console.log(firstVal + " and " + lastVal); //Printing result

I will try something like bellow
var splitByLastDot = function(text) {
var index = text.lastIndexOf('.');
return [text.slice(0, index), text.slice(index + 1)]
}
console.log(splitByLastDot('123.2345.34'))
console.log(splitByLastDot('123,23.34.23'))

I came up with this:
var str = '123,23.34.23';
var result = str.replace(/\.([^.]+)$/, ':$1').split(':');
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = JSON.stringify(result);
<div id="output"></div>

let returnFileIndex = str =>
str.split('.').pop();

Try this:
var str = '123.2345.34',
arr = str.split('.'),
output = arr.pop();
str = arr.join('.');

var test = 'filename.....png';
var lastStr = test.lastIndexOf(".");
var str = test.substring(lastStr + 1);
console.log(str);

I'm typically using this code and this works fine for me.
Jquery:
var afterDot = value.substr(value.lastIndexOf('_') + 1);
console.log(afterDot);
Javascript:
var myString = 'asd/f/df/xc/asd/test.jpg'
var parts = myString.split('/');
var answer = parts[parts.length - 1];
console.log(answer);
Note: Replace quoted string to your own need

My own version:
var mySplit;
var str1;
var str2;
$(function(){
mySplit = function(myString){
var lastPoint = myString.lastIndexOf(".");
str1 = myString.substring(0, lastPoint);
str2 = myString.substring(lastPoint + 1);
}
mySplit('123,23.34.23');
console.log(str1);
console.log(str2);
});
Working fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/robertrozas/no01uya0/

Str = '123,23.34.23';
var a = Str.substring(0, Str.lastIndexOf(".")) //123,23.34
var b = Str.substring(Str.lastIndexOf(".")) //23

Try this solution.
Simple Spilt logic
<script type="text/javascript">
var str = "123,23.34.23";
var str_array = str.split(".");
for (var i=0;i<str_array.length;i++)
{
if (i == (str_array.length-1))
{
alert(str_array[i]);
}
}
</script>

The simplest way is mentioned below, you will get pdf as the output:
var str = "http://somedomain.com/dir/sd/test.pdf";
var ext = str.split('.')[str.split('.').length-1];
Output: pdf

Replace dynamic string value in Javascript

I need to replace a dynamic value of a string:
My dynamic value is resulOffset=25
I tried like this:
var str = 'http://example.com?resultLimit=25&resulOffset=25';
var resultOffset = 50;
var newOffset = str.replace(/(resultOffset=)([0-9]+)/, '$1' + resultOffset);
console.log(newOffset);
but doesn't work. How can I solve it?

here: var str = 'http://example.com?resultLimit=25&resulOffset=25';
you have resulOffset instead of resultOffset.

try this one,
var str = 'http://example.com?resultLimit=25&resulOffset={0}';
var resultOffset = 50;
var newOffset = str.replace('{0}',resultOffset);
console.log(newOffset);

How to get parameter value inside a string?

Here's a thing i've been trying to resolve...
We've got some data from an ajax call and the result data is between other stuff a huge string with key:value data. For example:
"2R=OK|2M=2 row(s) found|V1=1,2|"
Is it posible for js to do something like:
var value = someFunction(str, param);
so if i search for "V1" parameter it will return "1,2"
I got this running on Sql server no sweat, but i'm struggling with js to parse the string.
So far i'm able to do this by a VERY rudimentary for loop like this:
var str = "2R=OK|2M=2 row(s) found|V1=1,2|";
var param = "V1";
var arr = str.split("|");
var i = 0;
var value = "";
for(i = 0; i<arr.length; ++i){
if( arr[i].indexOf(param)>-1 ){
value = arr[i].split("=")[1];
}
}
console.log(value);
if i put that into a function it works, but i wonder if there's a more efficient way to do it, maybe some regex? but i suck at it. Hopefully somebody may shine a light on this for me?
Thanks!

This seems to work for your specific use-case:
function getValueByKey(haystack, needle) {
if (!haystack || !needle) {
return false;
}
else {
var re = new RegExp(needle + '=(.+)');
return haystack.match(re)[1];
}
}
var str = "2R=OK|2M=2 row(s) found|V1=1,2|",
test = getValueByKey(str, 'V1');
console.log(test);
JS Fiddle demo.
And, to include the separator in your search (in order to prevent somethingElseV1 matching for V1):
function getValueByKey(haystack, needle, separator) {
if (!haystack || !needle) {
return false;
}
else {
var re = new RegExp('\\' + separator + needle + '=(.+)\\' + separator);
return haystack.match(re)[1];
}
}
var str = "2R=OK|2M=2 row(s) found|V1=1,2|",
test = getValueByKey(str, 'V1', '|');
console.log(test);
JS Fiddle demo.
Note that this approach does require the use of the new RegExp() constructor (rather than creating a regex-literal using /.../) in order to pass variables into the regular expression.
Similarly, because we're using a string to create the regular expression within the constructor, we need to double-escape characters that require escaping (escaping first within the string and then escaping within in the created RegExp).
References:
RegExp.
String.match().

This should work for you and it's delimiters are configurable (if you wish to parse a similar string with different delimiters, you can just pass in the delimiters as arguments):
var parseKeyValue = (function(){
return function(str, search, keyDelim, valueDelim){
keyDelim = quote(keyDelim || '|');
valueDelim = quote(valueDelim || '=');
var regexp = new RegExp('(?:^|' + keyDelim + ')' + quote(search) + valueDelim + '(.*?)(?:' + keyDelim + '|$)');
var result = regexp.exec(str);
if(result && result.length > 1)
return result[1];
};
function quote(str){
return (str+'').replace(/([.?*+^$[\]\\(){}|-])/g, "\\$1");
}
})();

Usage examples:
var str = "2R=OK|2M=2 row(s) found|V1=1,2|";
var param = "V1";
parseKeyValue(str, param); // "1,2"
var str = "2R=OK&2M=2 row(s) found&V1=1,2";
var param = "2R";
parseKeyValue(str, param, '&'); // "OK"
var str =
"2R=>OK\n\
2M->2 row(s) found\n\
V1->1,2";
var param = "2M";
parseKeyValue(str, param, '\n', '->'); // "2 row(s) found"

Here is another approach:
HTML:
<div id="2R"></div>
<div id="2M"></div>
<div id="V1"></div>
Javascript:
function createDictionary(input) {
var splittedInput = input.split(/[=|]/),
kvpCount = Math.floor(splittedInput.length / 2),
i, key, value,
dictionary = {};
for (i = 0; i < kvpCount; i += 1) {
key = splittedInput[i * 2];
value = splittedInput[i * 2 + 1];
dictionary[key] = value;
}
return dictionary;
}
var input = "2R=OK|2M=2 row(s) found|V1=1,2|",
dictionary = createDictionary(input),
div2R = document.getElementById("2R"),
div2M = document.getElementById("2M"),
divV1 = document.getElementById("V1");
div2R.innerHTML = dictionary["2R"];
div2M.innerHTML = dictionary["2M"];
divV1.innerHTML = dictionary["V1"];
Result:
OK
2 row(s) found
1,2

JavaScript regex using a character twice

So I'm using regex to grab information from a string, the issue is I need to both start up and stop at a / in the string.
Here's an example
var regexp = /\/(.*?)=(.*?)\//g;
var url_hash = "/s=lorem+ipsum/p=2/";
var match;
var result = {};
while ((match = regexp.exec(url_hash)) != null) {
result[match[1]] = match[2];
}
I can grab result['s'] without issue, but grabbing result['p'] becomes problematic, because the ending / for result['s'] is the same as the starting / for result['p']. If I changed the string to /s=lorem+ipsum//p=2/ it works perfectly, but of course that's hideous. So how can I fix this so that it both ends and starts up at the /? I'm stuck, any help is appreciated.

Use this regex:
/\/([^/=]+)=([^/]+)/
Code:
var regexp = /\/([^/=]+)=([^/]+)/g;
var url_hash = "/#!/s=lorem+ipsum/p=2/";
var match;
var result = {};
while ((match = regexp.exec(url_hash)) != null) {
result[match[1]] = match[2];
document.writeln(match[1] + ' = ' + match[2] + '<br>');
}
OUTPUT:
s = lorem+ipsum
p = 2
Online demo of the code

Why can't you just split it?
var result = {};
var url = "/#!/s=lorem+ipsum/p=2/".slice(4, -1).split('/');
for (i in url) {
var value = url[i].split('=');
result[value[0]] = value[1];
}
console.log(result);

You can determine the look-ahead set for part after the = yourself instead of adding it to the regular expression. The look-ahead set is "everything but a forward slash".
var regexp = /\/(\w+)=([^/]+)/g;
Btw, I'm assuming that the part before the = is word-like (i.e. alphanumeric)

String to array then remove last element

I have the strings below and I am trying to remove the last directory from them but I cant seem to get the grasp of it.
JavaScript
var x = path.split("/")
alert(path +' = ' +x.slice(0, -1));
Expected Result
/foo/bar/ = /foo/
/bar/foo/ = /bar/
/bar/foo/moo/ = /bar/foo/

Try:
let path = "/bar/foo/moo/";
let split = path.split("/");
let splicedStr = split.slice(0, split.length - 2).join("/") + "/";
console.log(splicedStr);

Try:
var sourcePath="/abc/def/ghi";
var lastIndex=sourcePath.lastIndexOf("/");
var requiredPath=sourcePath.slice(0,lastIndex+1);
Output: /abc/def/
