Question

I have the following string: (17.591257793993833, 78.88544082641602) in Javascript

How do I use split() for the above string so that I can get the numbers separately.

This is what I have tried (I know its wrong)

var location= "(17.591257793993833, 78.88544082641602)";
var sep= location.split("("" "," "")");    
document.getElementById("TextBox1").value= sep[1];
document.getElementById("Textbox2").value=sep[2];

Suggestions please

Answer 1

Use regular expression, something as simple as following would work:

// returns and array with two elements: [17.591257793993833, 78.88544082641602]
"(17.591257793993833, 78.88544082641602)".match(/(\d+\.\d+)/g)
