javascript split

Question

<script language="javascript">
function frompost()
{
  var string=$('#indexsearch').val();
  var url=string.split('=');
  if(url==""){
  var url=string.split('video/');  
  }
  var finalurl='http://watchvideos.tv/watch/'+url[1];
  window.location = finalurl;
  //$('#srchFrm').attr('action',finalurl);
  //document.srchFrm.submit();
}
</script>

I have a problem with this script - it's Ok as long as indexsearch field contains = and fails when it's supposed to work as well - with video/ in the field

Try it like this:

function frompost()
{
  var str = $('#indexsearch').val(),
      url = str.split(/=|video\//),
      finalurl = 'http://watchvideos.tv/watch/'+url[1];
  window.location = finalurl;
}

url[1] is passed as undefined instead of the value after video/

What's the value of $('#indexsearch').val()?

Well http://videobb.com/video/PFt6bfmNMSlW'.split(/=|video\//) returns ["http://videobb.com/", "PFt6bfmNMSlW"] here, so I'm not sure why url[1] shouldn't exist. Could video/... be in uppercase? Than use .split(/=|video\//i)
