Break the string into two lines

Question

I want to break a string into two lines, but the line should not break into two, at the half of a word. How can I do this?

The string format is like this:

var words="value.eight.seven.six.five.four.three"

Expected output is:

"value.eight.seven.

six.five.four.three"

what is your expected O/P..? What do you mean by two lines..? want to store the split values into two variables.. — Rajaprabhu Aravindasamy

you want to break string but still don't want to break in two. It is little confusing. Is it that you want to break it in two halfs but words should not break? — Bhushan Kawadkar

Check this out: stackoverflow.com/questions/14484787/wrap-text-in-javascript It is similar to your issue, just need to change the identifier to break the line accordingly. — ak0053792

@ Bhushan Kawadkar:i mean the line should not break at middle of "seven", or "six", means it should break after the third word or the fourth word — Krishna

Try,

var words = "value.eight.seven.six.five.four.three";
var splitted = words.split('.');
var index = splitted.length / 2;  
var val1 = splitted.slice(0, index).join('.') + ".";
var val2 = splitted.slice(index, splitted.length).join('.');

Try this:

    var words="value.eight.seven.six.five.four.three"
    var wordsArr = words.split(".");
    var line1 = wordsArr.slice(0,Math.floor(wordsArr.length/2)).join("."); 
    var line2 = wordsArr.slice(Math.floor(wordsArr.length/2)).join(".");

Here is the working fiddle:

you do the following-->

var words = "value.eight.seven.six.five.four.three";
var all = words.split(".");
var new="";  //empty string

for(var i=0;i<all.length;i++){
new=new+all[i]+".";  //add each word and the .
if(i==3)
new=new+"\n"; //add a \n after the third word
}

the new var will have your new string. hope this helps.

It will work only for the provided string, it's not a general answer, and I think OP is looking for a general solution which will work on any string.
