Name
split() — NN 4 IE J3 ECMA 1
Synopsis
split(delimiter
[, limitInteger
])
Returns a new array object whose elements are segments of the current
string. The current string is divided into array entries at each
instance of the delimiter string specified as the first parameter of
the method. The delimiter does not become part of the array. You do
not have to declare the array prior to stuffing the results of the
split()
method. For example, if a string consists
of a comma-delimited list of names, you can convert the list into an
array as follows:
var listArray = stringList.split(",")
You may also use a regular expression as the parameter to divide the string by a pattern rather than a fixed character.
Returned Value
Array.
Parameters
-
delimiter
A string or regular expression that defines where the main string is divided into elements of the resulting array.
-
limitInteger
An optional integer that restricts the number of items converted into array elements. This parameter is recognized only by Navigator 4.
