The String split() method splits a string into an array of substrings, and returns a new array, without changing the original string. If (‘ ‘) is used as separator, the string is split between words.

<!-- html element to place output -->
<p id="my_output"></p>

Example 1:

// variables
let text = 'Hello world and the rest of the universe';
let my_result = text.split(' '); // split the entire string

// output to the HTML element
document.getElementById('my_output').innerHTML = my_result;

Example 2:

// variables
let text = 'Hello world and the rest of the universe';
let my_result = text.split(' ', 3); // split only the first three words of the string

// output to the HTML element
document.getElementById('my_output').innerHTML = my_result;

Example 1:

Hello,world,and,the,rest,of,the,universe

Example 2:

Hello,world,and

string.split(separator, limit)

Parameter	Description
separator	A string or regular expression to use for splitting; if omitted, an array with the original string is returned
limit	An integer that limits the number of splits; items after the limit are excluded
