String split in sightly

Hi All,

Is it possible to do string split in sightly. 

For example I have string x = "C-123-coursename"; I want to remove the course name and get C-123. How can i do this in sightly?

Thanks,

Shehjad

      You can achieve this using a Sling Model itself. Is there any specific reason you want to try this in Sightly?

        Sightly templating script is designed not to have such logics other than just rendering piece of it. As @edubey mentioned, you can use JS Use API or do all that operations in your Sightly model or sling model class itself and send the actual value which needs to be displayed.
