Question

I will have a string like below

var str = "-#A 
This text belongs to A.
Dummy Text of A.
-#B
This text belongs to B.
Dummy Text of B.
-#C
This text belongs to C.
Dummy text of C.
-#Garbage
This string should be ignored"

I want an array like below ignoring text heading with “Garbage”

var arr = [["A","This text belongs to A.
Dummy Text of A."],["B","This text belongs to B.
Dummy Text of B."] etc...]  

Please help me on this. How can I make it done…

Answer 1

var str="...";
var ar=str.split('-#');
var res=new Array();
for (var s in ar) {
  if (s=='') continue;
  var b=ar[s].split('\n');
  var name=b.shift();
  if (name=='Garbage') continue;
  b=b.join('\n');
  res[res.length]=new Array(name,b);
}
