Remove '=' character from a string

Question

I have a string as follows:

var string = "=09e8d76c-c54c-32e1-a98e-7e654d32ec1f";

How do I remove the '=' character from this? I've tried a couple of different ways but the '=' character seems to be causing a conflict

Answer 1

If it's always the first character then this will work...

var string = "=09e8d76c-c54c-32e1-a98e-7e654d32ec1f".substring(1);

If it's not definitely the first character then this will work...

var string = "=09e8d76c-c54c-32e1-a98e-7e654d32ec1f".replace("=", "");

If it's in there more than once then this will work...

var string = "=09e8d76c-c54c-32e1-a98e-7e654d32ec1f".split("=").join("");

Answer 2

You can use .replace():

The replace() method returns a new string with some or all matches of a pattern replaced by a replacement

string = string.replace('=','');

Do this:

   string = string.replace("=",'');
