Use this: Note: name variable is your name. Initials will be logged in the console. You can change the code, of course var name = 'Foo Bar 1Name too Long'; var initials = name.match(/\b\w/g) || []; initials = ((initials.shift() || '') + (initials.pop() || '')).toUpperCase(); console.log(initials);

Galaxy-Coding (CodeWarrior) so i can write something like this function initials(name){ var match = name.match(/\b\w/g); match = ((match.shift() || ‘’) + (match.pop() || ‘’)).toUpperCase(); } console.log(initials(‘Hello World’));

Tijan You can also try this: const initials= (name) => name.split(" ") .map (x => x[0].toUpperCase() ) .join("."); console.log(initials("John smith"));//prints J.S
