Remove first occurrence of comma in a string

Question

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

should retu

Answer 1

String.prototype.replace replaces only the first occurence of the match:

"some text1, some tex2, some text3".replace(',', '')
// => "some text1 some tex2, some text3"

Global replacement occurs only when you specify the regular expression with g flag.

var str = ",.,.";
if (str.match(/,/g).length > 1) // if there's more than one comma
    str = str.replace(',', '');
