Question

I would like to know how i can split this using jquery…

 "{"answer":["q1001-a2","q1002-a2","q1003-a2","q1004-a2","q1005-a2","q1006-a2"]}"

So i can then make the following JSON…

 {
  "d": [
       {
          "question": 1001,
          "answer": "a2"
       },
       {
          "question": 1002,
          "answer": "a2"
       }
       ]
 }

Thanks.

Loop the answer, split the element by -, create the new element and then push it to d.

var ret = {d: []};
// if you have json string, then you could jQuery.parseJSON to parse it
var obj = {"answer":["q1001-a2","q1002-a2","q1003-a2","q1004-a2","q1005-a2","q1006-a2"]};
var answers = obj.answer, tmp, i;
for (i = 0; i < answers.length; i++) {
  tmp = answers[i].split('-');
  ret.d.push({"question": tmp[0], "answer": tmp[1]});
}
