split Method

separator

Optional. A string or an instance of a Regular Expression object identifying one or more characters to use in separating the string. If omitted, a single-element array containing the entire string is returned.

limit

Optional. A value used to limit the number of elements returned in the array.

The result of the split method is an array of strings split at each point where separator occurs in the string. The separator is not returned as part of any array element.

The following example illustrates the use of the split method.

function SplitDemo(){
    var s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
    // Split at each space character.
    var arr = s.split(" ");
    return(arr);
}
