JavaScript String split() A string can be converted to an array with the split() method:

Split a string into an array of strings: String myStr = "Split a string by spaces, and also punctuation."; String regex = "[,\\.\\s]"; String[] myArray = myStr.split(regex); for (String s : myArray) { System.out.println(s); }

The JavaScript spread operator (... ) expands an iterable (like an array) into more elements. This allows us to quickly copy all or parts of an existing array into another array:

Split document.cookie on semicolons into an array called ca (ca = decodedCookie.split(';')). Loop through the ca array (i = 0; i < ca.length; i++), and read out each value c = ca[i]). If the cookie is found (c.indexOf(name) == 0), return the value of the cookie (c.substring(name.length, c.length).
