Use only parts of a string

I have a string like this:

let conSelected = "f0_leg0_c2";

I want to use only the first part of it to find all divs starting with (in this sample) f0_leg0

How can this be achieved without concatenating conSelected.split[0] + conSelected.split[1] or something similar? Is there an easier way?

If you don't want to concatenate string in the way you have in your example you can use lastIndexOf to get the last index of "_" and sub-string the string..

var str = conSelected.substring(0, conSelected.lastIndexOf("_"))

let conSelected = "f0_leg0_c2";

console.log(conSelected.substring(0, conSelected.lastIndexOf("_")));

You can split by "_", splice and then join:

"f0_leg0_c2".split("_").splice(0, 2).join("_")
