Javascript separate string into different variables

Question

I am looking to take a string and find all the spaces in it and separate that into different variables. I know I could use the .split() but that wouldn\'t make

Answer 1

If you don't know how many spaces there are in the string, beforehand, you can do the following:

var str = "How are you doing today, my dear friend?";
numberspaces = str.split(" ").length; //you know how many spaces there are
words=str.split(" ");                 //it creates an array of words
var i;
for (i = 0; i < numberspaces; i++){
console.log(words[i]);}
