How to split strings at specific intervals to arrays in Javascript?
For example: split this string into 4 characters (including space and characters)
this is an example should be split,numbers(123),space,characters also included
to
this ------> 1st array
is ------> 2nd array
an ------> 3rd array
exam ------> 4th array
ple ------> 5th array
shou ------> 6th array ............ etc till.....
..ed ------> last array
Try this:
var foo = "this is an example should be split,numbers(123),space,characters also included";
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < foo.length; i++) {
if (i % 4 == 0 && i != 0)
arr.push(foo.substring(i - 4, i));
if (i == foo.length - 1)
arr.push(foo.substring(i - (i % 4), i+1));
}
document.write(arr);
console.log(arr);
Here's a function that splits your string into chunks of whatever size you want:
function splitN(s, n) {
var output = [];
for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i+=4) {
output.push(s.substr(i, 4));
}
return(output);
}
You can see it work here: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/JvabJ/
Change the "4"'s to "n"'s in the above code:
function splitN(s, n) {
var output = [];
for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i+=n) {
output.push(s.substr(i, n));
}
return(output);
}
You can use match along with a regex:
console.log("this is an example should be split,numbers(123),space,characters also included".match(/.{1,4}/g));
