Question

Would anyone know how I would go about splitting a string like this using Regex?

str:String = "word1:word2:6";

I need to split it into 3 parts, the separator is :

//output
w1 = word1
w2 = word2
num = 6

Thanks,

Mark

Answer 1

You don’t need to use RegExp for this.

var a:Array = str.split(':');

That will create an array where each index is the characters between the common delimeter.

So:

a = [word1, word2, 6]

You then can parse the array how you see fit.
