I have an array. Within it I have 2 names. I want to pick only the surname by a split function, but it is not working. I have separated first name and last name using an underscore.
function spt (){
var m= new Array('jitender_chand','shashi_cant')
var j= m.split('_');
document.getElementById('add').innerHTML=j;
}
<body>
<input type="text" value="hii" id="jitender" />
<input type="button" onclick="spt()" />
<div id="add" ></div>
Please look into the following code.Hope this helps you:
HTML CODE:
<input type="text" value="hii" id="jitender" />
<input type="button" value="Click me to split" onclick="spt()" />
<div id="add" ></div>
JS CODE:
function spt (){
var m= new Array('jitender_chand','shashi_cant');
for(var i=0;i<m.length;i++){
var j= m[i].split('_')[1];
document.getElementById('add').innerHTML=
document.getElementById('add').innerHTML + "," + j;
}
}
Working Demo:
Should be:
var m = new Array('jitender_chand','shashi_cant')
var splitted = m[0].split("_")[1]; //for jitender_chand
//and use m[1].split("_")[1]; //for other name
alert(splitted);
document.getElementById('add').innerHTML=splitted;
OR if you want ta add surnames in an array, then:
var m = new Array('jitender_chand','shashi_cant');
var surname = [];
for(var s = 0; s < m.length; s++) {
surname.push(m[s].split("_")[1]);
}
console.log(surname);
//if you want to join surnames, then
var joinedSurnames = surname.join(",");
Hope it helps
split is a method of the String class, not the Array class. ( developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/… for more information )
Yes but you can't call split on an array.
var j = new Array()
for (var i in m) {
j.push(m[i].split('_'))
}
If you're using JavaScript 1.6 or later, you can use Array's map function to iterate over each member of the array and split the member (String) on underscore:
var m = ["jitender_chand", "shashi_cant"];
var j = m.map(function (name){
return name.split("_")[1];
});
document.getElementById('add').innerHTML = j;
