Split a pipe delimited key-value pair separated by '=' symbol

Question

We are receiving an input parameter value as a pipe-delimited key-value pair, separated with = symbols. For example:

\"|User=0101|Name=ImNewUse         


        

Answer 1

Cleanest way possible, you can modify the source to split by a different delimiter.

`
function parseQueryString(queryString) {
    var obj = {};
    function sliceUp(x) { x.replace('?', '').split('&').forEach(splitUp); }
    function splitUp(x) { var str = x.split('='); obj[str[0]] = decodeURIComponent(str[1]); }
    try { (!queryString ? sliceUp(location.search) : sliceUp(queryString)); } catch(e) {}
   return obj;
}
