Getting all characters after the last '-' in a string [closed]

Answer 1

No need for jQuery for the actual string manipulation - a little clunky, but easy to understand:

text = 'Something -that - has- dashes - World';
parts = text.split('-');
loc = parts.pop();
new_text = parts.join('-');

So,

loc == ' World';
new_text == 'Something -that - has- dashes ';

Whitespace can be trimmed or ignored (as it often doesn't matter inside HTML).
