jQuery - trim the variable

I have following example:

var VarFull = $('#selectror').attr('href') where .attr('href') = "#tabs1-1"

How can I trim that to "tabs1-1" ( without #)??

Any suggestions much appreciated.

For example: ". / [email protected], / . \"

Now trim characters at the beginning and end of the string: 

email_new = email.replace(/\W+$/g, '').replace(/^\W+/g, ''); // output : [email protected]

If it's certain that the url will contain # anyway, you can even split and take second element of array. 

var trimmed=$('#selectror').attr('href').split("#")[1]

But don't use this if URL may not contain # otherwise you'll get an undefined error for trying to get index 1 of the array by split().

You can use JavaScript's string replace(): https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace

var VarFull = $('#selectror').attr('href');
var trimmed = VarFull.replace('#','');

Edit: This is a good article on JS string manipulation: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/strings.html

try this regEx with replace- 

var VarFull = $('#selectror').attr('href').replace(/\#*/g, "");

it will replace all the # in your attr.

You could use replace -

var VarFull = $('#selectror').attr('href').replace('#','');

Use substring:

var VarFull = $('#selectror').attr('href').substring(1);
