How to parse a string in JavaScript

Question

I m just curious how I go about splitting a variable into a few other variables   For example  say I have the following JavaScript   var coolVar    123-abc-itchy-knee     And I wanted to split that into 4 variables  how does one do that   To wind up with an array where  array 0     123 and array 1     abc   etc would be cool   Or  a variable for each part of the string   var1    123   and  var2    abc    Could work    either way  How do you split a JavaScript string

Use the Javascript string split   function   var coolVar    123-abc-itchy-knee   var partsArray   coolVar split  -        Will result in partsArray 0      123   partsArray 1      abc   etc

as amber and sinan have noted above  the javascritp   split  method will work just fine  Just pass it the string separator -  and the string that you intend to split  123-abc-itchy-knee   and it will do the rest       var coolVar    123-abc-itchy-knee       var coolVarParts   coolVar split  -       this is an array containing the items      var1 coolVarParts 0     this will retrieve 123   To access each item from the array just use the respective index indices start at zero
