split Method


function split([ separator : { String \| RegExp } [, limit : Number]]) : Array

separator: Optional. A string or an instance of a Regular Expression object identifying one or more characters to use in separating the string. If omitted, a single-element array containing the entire string is returned.

limit: Optional. A value used to limit the number of elements returned in the array.

The result of the split method is an array of strings split at each point where separator occurs in the string. The separator is not returned as part of any array element.

The following example illustrates the use of the split method.
