Get button text in to an array

Question

I've got multiple buttons. These buttons are created dynamically. Each button has a unique button text.

How can I get the button text in to an array?

<button type="button" class "utClass">uniqueText1</button>
<button type="button" class "utClass">uniqueText2</button>
<button type="button" class "utClass">uniqueText3</button>

var butTxArr = [];
$("#intoArr").click(function(){
    //how to get the button text into butTxArr
});

You can use .map() function along with .get():

$('.utClass').map(function(){
  return $(this).text();
}).get();//returns ['uniqueText1','uniqueText2','uniqueText3']

Try This DEMO:

var butTxArr = [];
$("#intoArr").click(function(){
    $('.utClass').each(function(){
       var obj = $(this).text();   // get the text of button
       butTxArr.push(obj);         //Add it to an array  
    })
});
