String manipulation, removing characters until the second occurrence in java script

How to remove all the characters until you encounter second comma(,) in the sentence in js?

I have something like this in my string:

var str = "hello,abc,def,jkl,mno,pqr,stu";

I want the string to contain something like this:

str = "def,jkl,mno,pqr,stu"

How to do something like this?

Is there way to do this other than putting in loop checking for comma then erasing?

  1. Convert to array with split.
  2. Cut array with slice
  3. Join the array with join.

var str = "hello,abc,def,jkl,mno,pqr,stu";
var arr = str.split(',');
var newStr = arr.slice(2, arr.length).join(',')
console.log(newStr)
