Hi starbeamrainbowlabs ,
You can do this with the following:
var oldValue = "pic quality, hello" ;
var newValue = "hello";
var oldValueLength = oldValue.length ;
var newValueLength = newValue.length ;
var from = oldValue.search(newValue) ;
var to = from + newValueLength ;
var nes = oldValue.substr(0,from) + oldValue.substr(to,oldValueLength);
console.log(nes);
I tested this in my javascript console so you can also check this out
Thanks
