My goal is for this function to return only "03.12.21, 16:12:52". Currently only "]" is returned.
let txt = `[03.12.21, 16:12:52] Firstname Lastname: Some text [03.12.21, 16:14:30] Firstname Lastname: Some text`;
console.log(parseDate()); // "]"
function parseDate() {
for (let i = 0; i < txt.length; i ) {
let char = txt[i];
let date = "";
date = char;
if (char === "]") {
return date;
}
}
}
CodePudding user response:
Move let date = "";
outside of the loop (you are resetting it each iteration)
let txt = `[03.12.21, 16:12:52] First Name: Some text [03.12.21, 16:14:30] Felix Krückel: Some text`;
console.log(parseDate()); // "]"
function parseDate() {
let date = "";
for (let i = 0; i < txt.length; i ) {
let char = txt[i];
date = char;
if (char === "]") {
return date;
}
}
}
