How to use split

Question

I need to break apart a string that always looks like this      something -- something else     I need to put  something else  in another input field  Currently  this string example is being added to an HTML table row on the fly like this   tRow append     lt td gt    text     id  txtEntry2    val        I figure  split  is the way to go  but there is very little documentation that I can find

If it is the basic JavaScript split function, look at documentation, JavaScript split() Method.

Basically, you just do this:

var array = myString.split(' -- ')

Then your two values are stored in the array - you can get the values like this:

var firstValue = array[0];
var secondValue = array[1];

According to MDN  the split   method divides a String into an   ordered set of substrings  puts these substrings into an array  and   returns the array     Example  var str    Hello my friend   var split1   str split           Hello    my    friend   var split2   str split          H    e    l    l    o         m    y         f    r    i    e    n    d      In your case  var str    something -- something else  var splitArr   str split   --         something    something else    console log splitArr 0      something console log splitArr 1      something else

Documentation can be found e g  at MDN  Note that  split   is not a jQuery method  but a native string method    If you use  split   on a string  then you get an array back with the substrings   var str    something -- something else   var substr   str split   --        substr 0  contains  something     substr 1  contains  something else    If this value is in some field you could also do   tRow append     lt td gt    text     id  txtEntry2    val   split   --    0
