How do I split this string with JavaScript?

In my rails app i’m concatenating strings and sending it to javascript via ajax technology. But for encreasing speed i think about one method…
So simple i need to slice my string to three variables:
My string look’s so:

5.21o-o11.0o-o4

So how to slice it to

5.21

11.0

4

?

Answer 1

Assuming o-o is the delimiter, use split() to get it into an array:

var foo = '5.21o-o11.0o-o4';
var values = foo.split('o-o');
alert(values[0]); // = 5.21 
alert(values[1]); // = 11.0
alert(values[2]); // = 4

This is obviously an example. Normally to get the values out you would iterate over the array as required.
