Sometimes, we want to add the JavaScript equivalent of Python’s rsplit method.
In this article, we’ll look at how to add the JavaScript equivalent of Python’s rsplit method.
How to add the JavaScript equivalent of Python’s rsplit method?
To add the JavaScript equivalent of Python’s rsplit method, we can create our own function.
Fir instance, we write:
const rsplit = (str, sep, maxsplit) => {
const split = str.split(sep);
return maxsplit ? [split.slice(0, -maxsplit).join(sep)].concat(split.slice(-maxsplit)) : split;
}
const a = rsplit("blah,derp,blah,beep", ",", 1)
console.log(a)
to create the rsplit function.
In it, we call str.split with the sep separator to split the string into an array.
Then we combine the string with split.slice(0, -maxsplit).join(sep) concatenated with split.slice(-maxsplit) to return an array with the combined and split string.
If maxsplit isn’t set, then we return the split array as is.
Therefore, we get ['blah,derp,blah', 'beep'] from the console log.
Conclusion
To add the JavaScript equivalent of Python’s rsplit method, we can create our own function.
