similar function explode php in javascript?

Question

I have problem when I want to separate my string in JavaScript, this is my code :

var str= 'hello.json';
str.slice(0,4); //output hello
str.slice(6,9); //output json

the problem is when i want to slice second string ('json') I should create another slice too.

I want to make this code more simple , is there any function in JavaScript like explode function in php ?

Answer 1

You can use split()

var str = 'hello.json';
var res = str.split('.');

document.write(res[0] + ' ' + res[1])

or use substring() and indexOf()

var str = 'hello.json';

document.write(
  str.substring(0, str.indexOf('.')) + ' ' +
  str.substring(str.indexOf('.') + 1)
)
