How to split string from particular word in javascript?

Question

[
    { 
    docPath: "c:\Project\Indofebweb\Attachment\images\indofab.png",
    }
]

I want to split the string from \Attachment and get the rest of the string e.g \Attachment\images\indofab.png . How can I do this?

Here's two links to get you started: [`string.split`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/split) & [`string.indexOf`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/indexOf). — Alexander Nied, Apr 04 '18 at 05:41
if `c:\Project\Indofebweb\\` is a constant path try `path = test.replace('c:\Project\Indofebweb','');` — Azad, Apr 04 '18 at 05:42
Here's another one: [`string.substring`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/substring) — Robby Cornelissen, Apr 04 '18 at 05:42

For this particular string you can use :

var arr=test.split("Indofebweb");
var restString=arr[1];  //-----contains string \Attachment\images\indofab.png

You can make your own logic using split() function.

UPDATED CODE----TRY THIS----BELOW HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p> a string display :</p>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
function myFunction() {
    var str = "c:\\Project\\Indofebweb\\Attachment\\images\\indofab.png";; 
    var arr=str.split("Indofebweb");
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = arr[1];
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

output: Attachmentimagesindofab.png but expected output is Attachment\images\indofab.png – Tejas Valand Apr 04 '18 at 05:46
make your sting as "c:\\Project\\Indofebweb\\Attachment\\images\\indofab.png"; – akash verma Apr 04 '18 at 05:50
because '\' is a escape character – akash verma Apr 04 '18 at 05:51
how i put \ in the output string? – Tejas Valand Apr 04 '18 at 05:52

I m getting: Attachmentimagesindofab.png – Tejas Valand Apr 04 '18 at 05:56

use str.match()

    path.match(/\\Attachment.*/);

this will return everything after and including "\Attachment". Keep in mind that backslashes need to be escaped.

but my expected output is this: \Attachment\images\indofab.png . – Tejas Valand Apr 04 '18 at 05:59
and this is what my solution will show. but you need to escape the path before you put it into your js. – Bernhard Apr 04 '18 at 06:00
my string is the javascript object [{ docPath : "c:\Project\Indofebweb\Attachment\images\indofab.png"}] in this stringi want a split. – Tejas Valand Apr 04 '18 at 06:10
Where does this object come from? Can you change it? – Bernhard Apr 04 '18 at 06:11
from API response. – Tejas Valand Apr 04 '18 at 06:12
you need to change the api response. the \ get lost as soon as they are in your js. look: https://jsfiddle.net/58q3nt09/ – Bernhard Apr 04 '18 at 06:16
there is no other way to achieve this? – Tejas Valand Apr 04 '18 at 06:19
