Javascript Equivalent to PHP Explode()

Question

I have this string:

0000000020C90037:TEMP:data

I need this string:

TEMP:data.

With PHP I would do this:

$str = '0000000020C90037:TEMP:data'; $arr = explode(':', $str); $var = $arr[1].':'.$arr[2]; 

How do I effectively explode a string in JavaScript the way it works in PHP?

Answer 1

This is a direct conversion from your PHP code:

//Loading the variable var mystr = '0000000020C90037:TEMP:data';  //Splitting it with : as the separator var myarr = mystr.split(":");  //Then read the values from the array where 0 is the first //Since we skipped the first element in the array, we start at 1 var myvar = myarr[1] + ":" + myarr[2];  // Show the resulting value console.log(myvar); // 'TEMP:data'
