Get sentence without a word after special character


How can i have the whole sentence without the first word which is preceded by special character ?

for example if i have this sentence:

 @jonson where are you?

i want get just this

  where are you?

and if its like that

   where are you @jonson ?

i want get

    where are you?

i know how to get the word after @ like that :

    var moo = "@jonson where are you?".match(/@([^ ]*)/)[1]; // jonson

hope it can be done , because i need to get that sentence. thanks


Solution

  • you can use string replace:

     var moo = "@jonson where are you?".replace(/@\w*/,'');
    
    document.write(moo)

    you're matching the @ character
    followed by any word-character( \w ) , in any quantity ( * );
