Question

I would like to know how can I split a long string to an array of words.
I would like to ignore/remove all the non alphabethic characters.

For example:
If I have the next string: “free games @ somewhere, visit us. don’t want to miss out?, then go ahead & visit us @ somewhere-to-download-from.”

I would like it to be splitted to:
“free,games,somewhere,visit,us,don’t,want,to,miss,out,then,go,ahead,visit,us,somewhere,to,down,load,from”

In the end I will have an array size 20 that on each cell it holds one word of the above.

Answer 1

Try:

var chk = str.split(/[^a-z']+/i);
console.log(chk);
