String split() method in JavaScript
The split() method in JavaScript enables us to break down a string into an array of (smaller) strings. Let’s jump directly into the code.
Example
string = "A-quick-brown-fox" //string to be splitarray_of_strings = string.split("-") //The split() functionconsole.log(string) //note that the split function doesn't change the original stringconsole.log(array_of_strings)
Note that the breaking character is itself lost in the process
The break character can be any available character. The codes below show the exact same task using space (" “) and empty (”") characters.
string = "A quick brown fox" //string to be splitarray_of_strings = string.split(" ") //The split() functionconsole.log(string) //note that the split function doesn't change the original stringconsole.log(array_of_strings)
Using space character will divide the entire string into individual words
