Split string

[aaronking]

hello,

does anyone know how to split a string?

so far I have the following:

var string = "Hello my name is - Bob";

alert( sring.split('-', 2) );

however, I am not 100% sure if i am doing it correct.

I am trying to get the bob part of the string only.

but it displays Hello my name is , bob

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

You're splitting properly. Remember that it returns an array.

This is very, very basic JavaScript. I suggest you go to W3Schools' JavaScript section and brush up a bit.

Here is the code to split a string in javascript..Hope it will work for you

string.split(separator, limit)

An example for your help goes like this :

<script type="text/javascript">

var str="How are you doing today?";

document.write(str.split() + "<br />");
document.write(str.split(" ") + "<br />");
document.write(str.split("") + "<br />");
document.write(str.split(" ",3));

</script>
