Just a quick question regarding the split function
How can I split my string at every 2nd space?
myArray = 'This is a sample sentence that I am using'
myArray = myString.split(" ");
I would like to create a array like this
This is a < 2 spaces sample sentence that < 2 spaces that I am < 2 spaces
and if the last word is not a space how would I handle this...?
any help would be appreciated
myString = 'This is a sample sentence that I am using';
myArray = myString.match(/[^ ]+( +[^ ]+){0,2}/g);
alert(myArray);
(?:...) should be used instead of (...) in this case.)Not a beautiful solution. Assumes the \1 character isn't used.
array = 'This is a sample sentence that I am using';
array = array.replace(/(\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)\s+/g, "$1\1").split("\1");
// If you want multiple whitespaces not merging together
// array = array.replace(/(\S*\s\S*\s\S*)\s/g, "$1\1").split("\1");
// If you only want to match the space character (0x20)
// array = array.replace(/([^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+) +/g, "$1\1").split("\1");
alert(array);
Split it every space, and then concatenate every other element:
function splitOnEvery(str, splt, count){
var arr = str.split(splt);
var ret = [];
for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i+=count){
var tmp = "";
for(var j=i; j<i+count; j++){
tmp += arr[j];
}
ret.push(tmp);
}
return ret;
}
Havent tested the code, but should work
ret.push(arr.slice(i, i+count).join(splt));.
