trace(my_array[i]);
}
// output:
P
A
T
S
Y
The following example returns an array with two elements,
"P"
and
"A"
:
var my_str:String = "P,A,T,S,Y";
var my_array:Array = my_str.split(",", 2);
trace(my_array); // output: P,A
The following example shows that if you use an empty string ("") for the
delimiter
parameter, each character in the string is placed as an element in the array:
var my_str:String = new String("Joe");
var my_array:Array = my_str.split("");
for (var i = 0; i<my_array.length; i++) {
trace(my_array[i]);
}
// output:
J
o
e

Because string literals use less overhead than String objects and are generally easier to
use, you should use string literals instead of the constructor for the String class unless
you have a good reason to use a String object rather than a string literal.
