Question

I’m doing a $.getJSON to retrieve some data and it’s giving me back the following:

address = 1233 Abc St
address2 = Suite 123
city = San Francisco
state = CA
zip = 12345

What I would ideally want is to have this broken into an array like:

array['address'] = "1233 Abc St"
array['address2'] = "Suite 123"
...

This seems like it would be simple regex, but I can’t quite wrap my head around it.

Answer 1

This is easier done by iteration:

var lines = source.split("\n"), l = lines.length, i, out = {}, line;
for(i=0; i<l; i++) {
    line = lines[i].split(/\s+=\s+/);
    out[line[0]] = line[1];
}
