Question

i been reading for hours trying to make this work but i dont have much knowledge to do it.

I have this js code:

var username=$(this).attr("username");

It pull a list of users f.e (admin, test1, test2, test3)

and i needs to split it into another var like this:

var members = [
    ['admin'],
    ['test1'],
    ['test2'],
    ['test3'],
];

I tried a lot of codes but i cant make it work, thanks in advance!

To get an array of usernames:

var username = $(this).attr("username");
var members = username.split(',');

To get exactly what you’ve suggested you want (an array of arrays? – I don’t think this is actually what you want):

var username = $(this).attr("username");
var membersArr = username.split(',');
var members = new Array();

for (var i = 0; i < membersArr.length; i++)
{
    members[i] = [ membersArr[i] ];
}

To get “[test1]”, “[test2]” etc:

var username = $(this).attr("username");
var members = username.split(',');

for (var i = 0; i < members.length; i++)
{
    members[i] = '[' + members[i] + ']';
}
