Let’s say we have the following hyphen delimited string with negative or range of numbers −
var firstValue = "John-Smith-90-100-US"; var secondValue = "David-Miller--120-AUS";
To split, use regular expressions. Following is the code −
Example
Following is the code −
var firstValue = "John-Smith-90-100-US"; var secondValue = "David-Miller--120-AUS"; var regularExpression = /-(?=[A-Za-z-]|\d+-\d)/; var result1 = firstValue.split(regularExpression); var result2 = secondValue.split(regularExpression); console.log(result1); console.log(result2);
To run the above program, use the following command −
node fileName.js.
Here, my file name is demo241.js.
Output
The output is as follows −
PS C:\Users\Amit\javascript-code> node demo241.js [ 'John', 'Smith', '90-100', 'US' ] [ 'David', 'Miller', '-120', 'AUS' ]
