Question

I am trying to separate and reassign values in a variable. What I have is

#&first=1&second=2

can anyone help with a script that will separate and assign this values to another variable so it would be like

var first= val.(first);
var second= val.(second);

I am new to jquery so I am not even sure if I am using the correct syntax.

Thanks

You could do something like this:

var val = "#&first=1&second=2";

var first = gup(val, "first");
var second = gup(val, "second");


function gup(str, name) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
    var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
    var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
    var results = regex.exec(str);
    if (results == null) return "";
    else return results[1];
}
