Jquery – How do I remove everything before " – "?

I’m trying to remove the text (in this example, it’s "Hi – "). But it’s not working.

<div class="custom-card-title">
  <!-- Change to 1-1/32 HELLO  -->
  <a href="#">Hi - 1-1/32 HELLO</a>
</div>

let name = $('.custom-card-title a').text();
const newName = name.split(" - ").pop();
name = `${newName}`

    You have to use .html() function to append the modified text to the anchor tag.

    let name = $('.custom-card-title a');
const newName = name.text().split(" - ").pop();
name.html(newName);

    You can use .html() or .text() here to set the contents of an anchor element.

    let name = $('.custom-card-title a').text();
const newName = name.split("-").pop();
name.text(newName) // or name.html(newName)

    html() is used to return or change the inner html and text content of selected elements. text() is used to return or change the text content of selected elements.
