Remove first occurrence of comma in a string

Question

I am looking for a way to remove the first occurrence of a comma in a string, for example

\"some text1, some tex2, some text3\"

should retu

Answer 1

This will do it:

if (str.match(/,.*,/)) { // Check if there are 2 commas
    str = str.replace(',', ''); // Remove the first one
}

When you use the replace method with a string rather than an RE, it just replaces the first match.
