String using split()

[Jerome]

Hi,

I set a cookie like:

NAME
VALUE1%A6VALUE2%A6VALUE3
~~local~~/C:\MYDOMAIN\
0
3488044672
29523393
2806071168
29523192
*


After I can read-out the VALUE, but this is the complete string!
I like to have the separate VALUEs 1 till 3 , like:

var var1=GetCookie('NAME');
if(var1!=null)
{
>>Here I like to have VALUE 1 till 3 with split('¦')

}
if(var1==null)
{
nothing
}

Thanks in advance,
Jerome

Hi,

The Cookie I set looks like this:

NAME
VALUE1%A6VALUE2%A6VALUE3
~~local~~/C:\MYDOMAIN\
0
3488044672
29523393
2806071168
29523192
*

The VALUE from this cookie however, is built-up as a string, f.e.

VALUE1%A6VALUE2%A6VALUE3 = blue¦red¦green

After reading-out the string, I like to have a result like:

A=blue
B=red
C=green

For this I like to use the split() methode

Thanks in advance,
Jerome

again, i don't understand the problem. you want to use the split() method. ok, great. so use it.

i'm afraid i simply don't see where you're having a problem.

Hi,

Sorry for making it so difficult, but it's more easy than You think!

I do not know how I can separate this string into 3 pieces!

How do I write a routine for this.

Well, if you can get the VALUE line, you're halfway there:

valuearray = VALUE.split("|");
alert(valuearray[0]);
alert(valuearray[1]);
alert(valuearray[2]);

However if you'd just looked up

javascript split() here (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=javascript+split%28%29&btnG=Google+Search)

or

javascript split() join()

here (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=javascript+split%28%29+join%28%29+&btnG=Google+Search) you probably would have figured it out already.

Thanks!

P.S. I'd probably use a different variable than VALUE though... it's just a bad habit (even though it's uppercase), since value is a reserved word in javascript (and a lot of other languages).
