Split definition and usage
The split () method is used to split a string into an array of strings.
Grammar
Stringobject.split (separator, howmany) parameter description
Separator required. A string or regular expression that splits the Stringobject from the place specified by the parameter.
Howmany Optional. This parameter specifies the maximum length of the array to return. If this argument is set, the returned substring will not be more than the array specified by this parameter. If this argument is not set, the entire string is split, regardless of its length.
return value
An array of strings. The array is created by splitting the string stringobject into substrings at the boundary specified by separator. The string in the returned array does not include the separator itself.
However, if separator is a regular expression that contains a subexpression, the returned array includes a string that matches the subexpression (but does not include text that matches the entire regular expression).
Tips and comments
Note: If an empty string ("") is used as a separator, then each character in the Stringobject is split.
Note: The actions performed by String.Split () are the opposite of those performed by Array.join.
In this case, we'll split the string in different ways:
<script type= "Text/javascript" >
var str= "How are your doing today?"
document.write (Str.split ("") + "
")
document.write (Str.split ("") + "
")
document.write (Str.split ("", 3))
</script>
How,are,you,doing,today?
H,o,w, A,r,e, Y,o,u, D,o,i,n,g, T,o,d,a,y,?
how,are,you Example
In this case, we'll split the more complex string of structures:
"2:3:4:5". Split (":")//will return ["2", "3", "4", "5"]
"|a|b|c". Split ("|")//will return ["", "a", "B", "C", ""]
Example 3
Using the following code, you can split a sentence into words:
var words = Sentence.split (') or using regular expressions as separator:
var words = Sentence.split (/s+/) Example 4
If you want to split the word into letters, or split the string into characters, use the following code:
"Hello". Split ("")//May return ["H", "E", "L", "L", "O"] if you want to return only a subset of the characters, use the Howmany parameter:
"Hello". Split ("", 3)//May return ["H", "E", "L"]
<script language= "JavaScript" >
Str= "2,2,3,5,6,6"; This is a string
var strs= new Array (); Define an array
Strs=str.split (","); Character segmentation
for (i=0;i<strs.length; i++)
{
document.write (strs[i]+ "
"); Character output after segmentation
}
</script>
