Javascript String Help needed

Hi

First time on this forum, hope someone can help :slight_smile:

My question is as follows:

I have n number of strings

AZABCDEF, AZA78, AZAA24P, DEF1.....

I need to find a way to compare n number of strings and extract the common string value from the start of the strings.

So, using the above strings my returned value must be AZA

2

Will the beginning of each string always have the same number of characters in common?

3

Not sure what you mean, sorry. Each string can be off different lengths.

4

In common… per your example, you wanted to get all strings that had “AZA” at the beginning in common… will it always be three characters? Or varying?

always be varying :slight_smile:
