Spliting string twice with 2 separators in javascript

Question

Let's say I need to split the string a.b.c.d#.e.f.g.h#.i.j.k.l with separator as # and then ".".

str = a.b.c.d#.e.f.g.h#.i.j.k.l

res = str.split("#")

res[0] will store a.b.c.d when I use split for the 1st time .
I need to split this again and save the data.

can anyone help ?

Answer 1

I think the simplest way to do it is using a regex:

    var str = "a.b.c.d#.e.f.g.h#.i.j.k.l";

    var res = str.split(/[.#]/);
