Question

I want to split following string into two parts using split function of javascript

original string is ‘Average Sized’ – ‘Mega Church!’ (with single quotes)

please mark that there is a single quote inside the string

and i want to split it by hyphen symbol so the result would be

[0] Average Sized 
[1] Mega Church!

Answer 1

try this:

"Average Sized - Mega Church!".split(/\s*\-\s*/g)

edit:

if you mean the original string INCLUDES the single quotes, this should work:

"'Average Sized - Mega Church!'".replace(/^'|'$/g, "").split(/\s*\-\s*/g)

if you just meant that the string is defined with single quotes, the original will work.
