From a string we can get part of the string by specifying starting and ending position of the substring.
my_string= new String("Welcome to plus2net.com");
document.write(my_string.substring(10,15));
The output of above function is plus
Note that one blank space is included in the above output at the left side.
substr() and substring()
substring() functions is different than substr function. In substr() function we used start point and length of the substring required ( not end point ).
Getting domain part of email address
We will use indexOf to get the location of the string inside another string, using this we can find out location of '@' and dot '.' within an email address. Then using these two locations we will collect domain part by using substr function.
Here is the code.
<script>
var email="userid@example.com";
var start=email.indexOf('@');
var end=email.indexOf('.');
document.write(email.substring(start+1,end));
</script>
