Get String In Between Semicolons
Hi All,
I have requirement to get string in between semicolons (;) in a string. But the string have to be in between the fourth semicolon and the sixth semicolon in the string. My question is how can i get the string as mentioned above?
i.e:
String: abc;def;ghi;jkl;mno;pqr;stu;vwx;yz
String to get: mno;pqr
Thank You

function AddSemicolon(str, n) {
var ret = [];
var i;
var len;
for(i = 0, len = str.length; i < len; i += n) {
ret.push(str.substr(i, n))
}
return ret
};
AddSemicolon("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs.", 4).join(';');

Hi Gisrurman,
You can use below functions,
1. Without creating an array
function nthIndex(str, pat, n, k){
var L= str.length, i= -1, j=-1;
while(n-- && i++<L){
i= str.indexOf(pat, i);
if (i < 0) break;
}
while(k-- && j++<L){
j= str.indexOf(pat, j);
if (j < 0) break;
}
var returnobject = str.substring(i+1, j);
console.log(returnobject);
return returnobject;
}
// --- Function call ---
var s= "bc;def;ghi;jkl;mno;pqr;stu;vwx;yz";
nthIndex(s,';',4,6);
output: mno;pqr
2. With an array.
function myFunction() {
var str = "bc;def;ghi;jkl;mno;pqr;stu;vwx;yz";
var res = str.split(";");
var returnobject = res[4]+';'+res[5];
console.log(returnobject);
return returnobject;
}
