How to remove # character from hash data? Jquery

Question

I need the hash value from url ...

var hash = window.location.hash; 

So how do I get rid of the # sign?

Answer 1

So simple.

 var hash = window.location.hash.substr(1) 

There are also these two that return the same:

 var hash = window.location.hash.slice(1) var hash = window.location.hash.substring(1) 

String.slice() was added to the specification a bit later, although this is possibly irrelevant.

The use of a replacement, as indicated below, is also an option.

None of these options give an error or warning if the window.location.hash line window.location.hash empty, so it really depends on your preference for what to use.

Answer 2

You can do it -

 hash = hash.replace(/^#/, ''); 

Answer 3

Just cut out the first char:

  var hash = window.location.hash.slice(1); 

Answer 4

You can just do

  var hash = window.location.hash.slice(1); 

Note that it does not generate an error; if there is no hash in the location, it simply returns "" .

Answer 5

window.location.href.substr(0, window.location.href.indexOf('#')) will do the trick
