How can I get the first three letters of a string in JQuery? [closed]

Answer 1

Use .slice(start, end) with start and end values:

var str = 'cat1234';
document.body.innerHTML = str.slice(0, 3);

With javascript you can use a regular expression with .match() method to exclude the number and get the string value.

var str ='cat1234',
    rg = /[a-zA-Z]+/g,
    ns = str.match(rg);

document.body.innerHTML = ns[0];
