Introduction
In this post, we will learn how to split a string in JavaScript. The Split function converts a string object into a substring by comma-separated values. Also, it converts the string object to an array of strings, and we can access that array bypassing its value. In this post, we will split a string by different examples, like split by space or any special character.
Let's start coding.
Below is the syntax of the split method.
string.split ([seperator] [, limit]);
Write the below code for the split function. Here are some examples of splitting the string by space, comma, or special character.

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Split by space
var str = "Hello World";
var splitted = str.split(" ");
document.write('Split by space (space) index 0 : ' + splitted[0] + '<br>');
document.write('Split by space (space) index 1 : ' + splitted[1] + '<br><br>');
// Split by comma
var str1 = "Hello,World";
var splitted1 = str1.split(",");
document.write('Split by comma (,) index 0 : ' + splitted1[0] + '<br>');
document.write('Split by comma (,) index 1 : ' + splitted1[1] + '<br><br>');
// Split by special character
var str2 = "Hello@World";
var splitted2 = str2.split("@");
document.write('Split by special character (@) index 0 : ' + splitted2[0] + '<br>');
document.write('Split by special character (@) index 1 : ' + splitted2[1] + '<br>');
</script>
</body>
</html>
Split string index depends on the length of the split string. In the above example, we tried to split a string object by space, comma (,), and special character (@) and accessed the split string using its index like "Hello, World". Here, we split this string by comma, and after splitting, we accessed this by its index like 0 or 1 and so on.
See the below screenshot for how the result will look,
