Question

If I have a string of names separated by commas, how do I separate them all and place them as individual elements in a new array?

For example–

var str="How,are,you,doing,today?";
document.write(str.split(","));

I’d like to put each of those elements straight into an array. What’s the way to do this?

Answer 1

Just assign them to a variable when you split them:

var new_array = str.split(",");
