jQuery string split the string after the space using split() method

Question

my code

  var str =$(this).attr(\'id\');

this will give me value == myid 5

   var str1 = myid
   var str2 = 5         


        

Answer 1

Use in-built function: split()

var source = 'myid 5';

//reduce multiple places to single space and then split
var splittedSource = source.replace(/\s{2,}/g, ' ').split(' ');

console.log(splittedSource);

​ Note: this works even there is multiple spaces between the string groups
