How to remove ZIP code and country from a string

I’m using Javascript to manipulate some strings that comes from an API and I need to remove the zip code and country from one of these strings.

Basically, I get the phrase like this:

"R. Anderson Ferreira dos Réis, 122 - Conj. Hab. Joel Marques, Tauá - CE, 63660-000, Brasil"

And I need to make arrangements to get rid of the zip code and the country, like this:

"R. Anderson Ferreira dos Réis, 122 - Conj. Hab. Joel Marques, Tauá - CE"

I know it is possible to use the replace() method for this, but the regex I used didn’t work. I tried something like this to get Cpf off:

let text = "R. Anderson Ferreira dos Réis, 122 - Conj. Hab. Joel Marques, Tauá - CE, 63660-000, Brasil"

const result = text.replace(/\d\d((\d\d\d)|(\.\d\d\d-))\d\d\d, '')

But that code doesn’t work.

Someone would know how to do it the right way?

  • I believe in the title of your question is ZIP code instead of CPF, right?

The expression below looks for 5 numbers in the sequence, a dash, 3 more numbers in the sequence and then everything in front. It may help but depending on the variation of your inputs you may need to adjust the expression.

const input = 'R. Anderson Ferreira dos Réis, 122 - Conj. Hab. Joel Marques, Tauá - CE, 63660-000, Brasil';

console.log(
   input.replace(
     /((,\s)?\d{5}-\d{3}.*)/g,
     ''
   )
);

You can solve it in a very simple way, I don’t know if the most correct one would be something like this:

var texto = "R. Anderson Ferreira dos Réis, 122 - Conj. Hab. Joel Marques, Tauá - CE, 63660-000, Brasil"

var objeto = texto.split(',')

Would have his string separated by , on an object and discard the ones you don’t need through the indices, then you can just concatenate the indices.
