I am trying to separate and reassign values in a variable. What I have is
#&first=1&second=2
can anyone help with a script that will separate and assign this values to another variable so it would be like
var first= val.(first);
var second= val.(second);
I am new to jquery so I am not even sure if I am using the correct syntax.
Thanks
You could do something like this:
var val = "#&first=1&second=2";
var first = gup(val, "first");
var second = gup(val, "second");
function gup(str, name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
var results = regex.exec(str);
if (results == null) return "";
else return results[1];
}
Checkout the example on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/WxnJq/
Here's the one that breaks down the GET variables in to key/value pairs, which I believe is what you're after: http://snipplr.com/view/12208/javascript-url-parser/
Also, you can take a look at parseURI, a javascript function that can dissect a URL with GET parameters and grab sections.
Sorry for being quick to post, I thought I found the right function the first time.
JQuery has no builtin way of dealing with querystrings, so I use a plugin for this. You can get it here, works great.
