Let’s say the following is our string with comma and whitespace −
var sentences = " John , David , Bob , Mike, Carol ";
To split the sentences by comma, use split(). For removing surrounding spaces, use trim().
Example
Following is the code −
var sentences = " John , David , Bob , Mike, Carol "; console.log("The value=" + sentences); var result = sentences.split(",").map(function (value) { return value.trim(); }); console.log("After modifying the value=") console.log(result);
To run the above program, use the following command −
node fileName.js.
Here, my file name is demo235.js.
Output
The output is as follows −
PS C:\Users\Amit\javascript-code> node demo235.js The value= John , David , Bob , Mike, Carol After modifying the value= [ 'John', 'David', 'Bob', 'Mike', 'Carol' ]
