Find first space and cut all the left content in a string on JavaScript

Question

In JavaScript, I have strings like:

"US$ 43,22"
"$ 2,44"

And I need to find the first space and cut the left content to have something like this:

"43,22"
"2,44"

Anyone knows how to do it? The point here is find the space.

Thank's very much in advance!

EDIT:

If I do:

console.log(retrievedPrice); //Have "US$ 35,88" 

let priceWithoutCurrency = retrievedPrice.substr(retrievedPrice.indexOf(' ') + 1);
console.log(priceWithoutCurrency); //I have the same: "US$ 35,88"

Why?

Mmm only I'll have one space, but with no space at all, could be a better solution. — Ivan Lencina, May 12 '17 at 19:04

const s = "US$ 43,22";

const r = s.substr(s.indexOf(' ') + 1);

console.log(r)

+1 is needed to cut the space itself.

@IvanLencina here is your code: https://jsfiddle.net/wostex/wk4frb98/ it works as intended, you get the subsctracted number. – Egor Stambakio May 12 '17 at 19:48

See below code snippet

var string = "US$ 43,22";
console.log( string.substr(string.indexOf(" ")+1))

Update:

 var string = "US$ 43,22";
 var result = string.substr(string.indexOf(" ")+1);
 console.log(result);

let retrievedPrice = "US$ 43,22";
let priceWithoutCurrency = retrievedPrice.substr(retrievedPrice.indexOf(' ') + 1);
console.log(priceWithoutCurrency);

It includes the space in the result. :) I think you want `indexOf(" ") + 1` – Aaron Beall May 12 '17 at 19:08
If I do: `console.log(retrievedPrice); //Have "US$ 35,88"` `let priceWithoutCurrency = retrievedPrice.substr(retrievedPrice.indexOf(' ') + 1); console.log(priceWithoutCurrency); //I have the same: "US$ 35,88"` Why? – Ivan Lencina May 12 '17 at 19:40

const x = "US$ 43,22";
const result = x.split(' ')[1];
console.log(result);

Console.log returns null to me with this method :/ – Ivan Lencina May 12 '17 at 19:42
You must be doing it wrong? Run the code here - it logs properly. Maybe try replacing `const` with `var`. – sesamechicken May 15 '17 at 13:35

I see it's only a space, right? Try this

var myVal = "US$ 43,22";
myVal = myVal.replace("US$ ", "");

That doesn't help for the second case, though. – Joseph Marikle May 12 '17 at 18:56
Yes but sometimes I have "US$" and sometimes "$" – Ivan Lencina May 12 '17 at 19:45
