Syntax

JSV_stripString(expS1, expS2)

Prototype

expS1.stripString(expS2)

Returns

The stripString function returns the string expS1 with all occurrences of the character string expS2 removed from it. If the character string expS2 does not exist in expS1, then the character string expS1 is returned. If either or both arguments are empty, then null is returned.

Parameters

The stripString function uses the following arguments.

Argument	Description
expS1	String being stripped.
expS2	String that is stripped from expS1.

Remarks

Unlike stripCharacters, stripString removes the designated string from the target string.
