javascrip split function unusual delimiters

[fwclough]

I have a javascript function that receives the following string:

<p><img src="picts/Gay_FT_lg.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>

I want to use the temp1.split() function to extract the name of the file(i.e., picts/Gay_FT_lg.jpg).

I thought it would be simpliest to split the string using a double quote as the delimiter. However I am unable to figure out how to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's all to do with how you use the quote marks...

...
var temp1 = '<p><img src="picts/Gay_FT_lg.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>';
var split1 = temp1.split('[!]"[/!]');
alert(split1[1]);
...

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

Thank you soooo much. It was right in front of my nose and I still didn't see it.

Thank you again.

Hi

And what if the [tt]src[/tt] attribute is not the first ? I would say better do not rely on [tt]split()[/tt].

/src="(.*?)"/i.exec(temp1)[1]

[gray]# or the same somehow more readable[/gray]

new RegExp('src="(.*?)"','i').exec(temp1)[1]
