How to split a string at the first `/` (slash) and surround part of it in a ``?

Question

I want to format this date:

23/05/2013

.

First I want to split the string at the first / and have the res

Answer 1

var str = "How are you doing today?";

var res = str.split(" ");

Here the variable "res" is kind of array.

You can also take this explicity by declaring it as

var res[]= str.split(" ");

Now you can access the individual words of the array. Suppose you want to access the third element of the array you can use it by indexing array elements.

var FirstElement= res[0];

Now the variable FirstElement contains the value 'How'
