Question

I have several arrays that are built similar to this:

exampleArray=new array(
"A01 - Blah Blah Blah",
"A01A - Blah Blah Blah Blah")

I’m using these Arrays to populate options in a form and I need to strip out everything after the first space(i.e. ” – Blah Blah Blah”) for the values of a given option. The options and values are currently being generated with this code:

for(i=0; i<optionStepTwo.length; i++) {
    elementStepTwo.options[elementStepTwo.options.length] = 
            new Option(optionStepTwo[i], optionStepTwo[i]);
};

Answer 1

You could do a split after ” “(space), like:

var desiredOption = optionStepTwo[i].split(" ")[0]
