Splits a String object into substrings by breaking it wherever the specified
delimiter
parameter occurs and returns the substrings in an array. If you use an empty string ("") as a
delimiter, each character in the string is placed as an element in the array.
If the
delimiter
parameter is undefined, the entire string is placed into the first element of
the returned array.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5
Parameters
delimiter :String
- A string; the character or string at which
my_str
splits.
limit :Number
[optional] - The number of items to place into the array.
Returns
Array
- An array containing the substrings of
my_str
.
Example
The following example returns an array with five elements:
var my_str:String = "P,A,T,S,Y";
var my_array:Array = my_str.split(",");
for (var i = 0; i<my_array.length; i++) {
