Question
This is probably very elementary, but I'm still learning.
I've imported a record from an XML file and have the result :
"a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h"
I would like to end up with 8 separate variables, one for each comma delimited value.
What is the shortest way to code this using javascript?
Solution
if you .split() the list, you'll end up with a single array with 'n' number of elements. Not -exactly- 8 separate variables, but 8 elements that can be accessed individually.
var myList = "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h";
var myArray = myList.split( ',' );
alert( myArray[ 4 ] );
