How to split a string into an array in Javascript?

Question

There is an elegant way to split a string into an array based on the example:

var x = "FAT* FAT32*";

And result in something like this:

x[0] = "FAT*";
x[1] = "FAT32*";

Answer 1

Yes, there is, it’s using the split().

var x = "FAT* FAT32*";
var array = x.split(" ");
console.log(array[0]);
console.log(array[1]);

I put in the Github for future reference.

Answer 2

You can use the method split as already mentioned, along with the expression \s+, which will correspond to one or more spaces.

var str = "FAT* FAT32*";
var match = str.split(/\s+/);

alert(match[0]);
alert(match[1]);

An alternative is to get these values through the regular expression /([\w\*]+)/g, corresponding alphanumeric characters and asterisk.

var str = "FAT* FAT32*";
var match = str.match(/([\w\*]+)/g);

alert(match[0]);
alert(match[1]); 

Answer 3

You can use the split()

console.log(x.split(" "))
//resultado deverá ser ["FAT*", "FAT32*"]

also the slice()

 var z = x.slice(0,4)
 var y = x.slice(4)
 var d = []
 d.push(z)
 d.push(y)
 console.log(d)
 //resultado deverá ser ["FAT*", "FAT32*"]
