Trim string for array/collection paths

trim-input-name.js

// In ASP.NET MVC, input fields are often named e.g. 'Products[5].Name'.
// To get rid of the 'Products[5]' part, use the following.

inputChanged: function (event) {
	var regex = new RegExp(/^\w*\[\d\]\./),
		$input = $(event.target),
		inputName = $input.attr("name");

	while (regex.test(inputName)) {
		var matches = regex.exec(inputName);
		inputName = inputName.replace(matches[0], "");
	}

	console.log(inputName);
}
