separate integers and text in a string

Question

I have string like fullData1 upto fullData10 in this i need to separate out the integers and text part. how do I do it using javascript.

Answer 1

Split your string into an array by integer:

myArray = datastring.split(/([0-9]+)/)

Then the first element of myArray will be something like fullData and the second will be some numbers such as 1 or 10.

If your string was fullData10foo then you would have an array ['fullData', 10, 'foo']

You could also:

• .split(/(?=\d+)/) which will yield ["fullData", "1", "0"]

• .split(/(\d+)/) which will yield ["fullData", "10", ""]

• Additionally .filter(Boolean) to get rid of any empty strings ("")
