JS String Split

split() method of String Object splits a string into an array:

var s = "perschon.com";
var arr = s.split("m"); //arr is ["end","e","o.co"]
var arr = s.split("me"); //arr is ["end","mo.com"]

Following example will read the user input, and split the content by "\r\n", or "\n" if the former not detected, followed by ",", "\t" and " ".

<script language="javascript">
function split()
{
	var g1 = document.sp.g.value;
	var arr1 = new Array;
	if (g1.indexOf("\r\n") != -1)
	{arr1 = g1.split("\r\n");}
	else if (g1.indexOf("\n") != -1)
	{arr1 = g1.split("\n");}
	else if (g1.indexOf(",") != -1)
	{arr1 = g1.split(",");}
	else if (n.indexOf("\t") != -1)
	{arr1 = g1.split("\t");}
	else{arr1 = g1.split(" ");}
	for (var i=0; i<arr1.length; i++)
	{
		var line = i + 1;
		alert("Line " + line + " is: " + arr1[i]);
	}
}
