Question

I have some string like this “asdf_0934_1234 – Pokemons”.

How can I extract the strings asdf , 0934 , 1234 and Pokemons? Please note that this is just a sample since the texts can be other characters.

Answer 1

If everything will be separated by underscores and dashes, then:

var str = "asdf_0934_1234 - Pokemons";
var strings = str.split(/_|-/);

Then you probably want to trim leading and trailing spaces:

strings = $.map(strings, function (s) {
    return $.trim(s);
});
