			METHOD: String::split *object.split [delimiter]* This method is used to 'split' a string into an array of substrings. The array numbering starts at zero. The optional *delimiter* argument is the character, regular expression, or substring that is used to determine where to split the string. The *delimiter* value is not returned as part of the array of substrings. If the argument is a character or substring, it must be enclosed with in a pair of double quotes. If the argument is a regular expression, do not enclose it with double quotes. If no *delimiter* argument is provided, the string is not split. If the empty string, "", is used as the *delimiter*, the string is split between each character in the string. Code: myString = new String("A,B,C,D") splitString = myString.split(",") document.write("<BR>" + splitString[0]) document.write("<BR>" + splitString[1]) document.write("<BR>" + splitString[2]) document.write("<BR>" + splitString[3]) Output: A B C D
