Hello everyone I am writing a script, the main idea is that I have a text with a fixed structure as follows:
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGWO.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGX4.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGX6.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGX8.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGXA.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGXC.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
I want to process that text, I want to split that text by the following symbols: |"~, pipe double quote and ~, I want to create an array to store that values, as follows:
splitWords = [RBD,X,RBD,C,92173,GJHGWO.NAYE,SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa]
In order to achieve it I tried:
var splitWords = document.getElementById("texto").value.split("|");
document.write(stringArray.toString());
and I get:
"RBD,X,RBD,C,92173~GJHGWO.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa" "RBD,X,RBD,C,92173~GJHGX4.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa" "RBD,X,RBD,C,92173~GJHGX6.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa" "RBD,X,RBD,C,92173~GJHGX8.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa" "RBD,X,RBD,C,92173~GJHGXA.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa" "RBD,X,RBD,C,92173~GJHGXC.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
The problem with this is that this is just splitting the text by the pipe, I would like to split it by the others symbols too, in order to get my desired output. The complete code looks as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="demo"></p>
<textarea cols=150 rows=15 id="texto">
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGWO.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGX4.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGX6.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGX8.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGXA.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGXC.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"
</textarea>
<script>
var splitWords = document.getElementById("texto").value.split("|");
document.write(splitWords.toString());
</script>
</body>
</html>
I would like to appreciate any suggestion of a regular expression to achieve this.

Use a regular expression:
str = '"RBD|X|RBD|C|92173~GJHGWO.NAYE" "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"';
str.split(/[\|"~\s]+/).filter(Boolean); // Output: ["RBD", "X", "RBD", "C", "92173", "GJHGWO.NAYE", "SAMBORNSiPOSSSTHRa"]
If you want to filter the period as well, add it in the square brackets of the regex with a backslash to escape it.
