seperate comma seperated string values in string variable

Question

I am trying to extract the string which is like

var str = "[\"/home/dev/servers\", \"e334ffssfds245fsdff2f\"]"

Desired ouput

a = "/home/dev/servers"
b = "e334ffssfds245fsdff2f"

So why is it not just an array to start? Issue here is the string is flawed from the start, all of those slashed need to be doubled up [\"\\home\\dev\\servers\",... — epascarello

So will the format always be the same? and have you tried str.split(',')? — A Rogue Otaku

Here you are:

const str = "[\"/home/dev/servers\", \"e334ffssfds245fsdff2f\"]";

const object = JSON.parse(str);

const a = object[0];
const b = object[1];

console.log(a);
console.log(b);

The following will work fine for you.

var str = "[\"/home/dev/servers\", \"e334ffssfds245fsdff2f\"]";

var foo = JSON.parse(str); //Parse the JSON into an object.

var a = foo[0];
var b = foo[1];

@BhargavTeja that error is unrelated to this question, or the code that is creating that error has not been posted in your question.

Using JSON.parse()

let [a, b] = JSON.parse("[\"/home/dev/servers\", \"e334ffssfds245fsdff2f\"]")

console.log(a)
console.log(b)
