Delete Last Char of String with Javascript

Question

I have a DIV with some characters. How can I remove the last character from the text with each click on the DIV itself?

Answer 1

Removing First Character

​$("div").on("click", function(){
    $(this).text(function(index, text){
        return text.replace(/^.(\s+)?/, '');
    });
});​​​​​​​​​​​​

Removing Last Character

$("div").on("click", function(){
    $(this).text(function(index, text){
        return text.replace(/(\s+)?.$/, '');
    });
});

Removing a Specific Char

$("div").on("click", function(){
    $(this).text(function(index, text){
        return text.replace(/r/gi, '');
    });
});
