Passing more than one argument to SPLIT

[Ito2233]

Can I have more than one argument serve as the delimiter in the SPLIT method? Whenever I read about SPLIT, I read about passing one delimiter to it. However, I need to split a string on encountering both an "=" sign and a ";". Is there a way to do it?
Thanks

Try this, before using the split change all your '=' and ';' to a character you are sure won't be used in your string. Something like '~' or 'ç' or even '^'.
Then do the split using the chosen character.

Alternatively I guess you could just replace all your '=' to ';' and then use the split.

Grtfercho, how do I perform this character replacement? Is there a special function for it?

var the_string = "safjkl=ffd;dfsdf=dfsdf;fds=fd";
the_string.replace("=",";");
alert(the_string);

Pass it a regular expression:

<script>
var the_string = "safjkl=ffd;dfsdf=dfsdf;fds=fd";
the_string=the_string.split([b]/=|;/[/b]);
alert(the_string);
</script>

or another example just for nonsense:

<script>
var the_string = "safjkl=ffd;dfsdf=dfsdf;fds=fd";
the_string=the_string.split("=").join(";").split(";");
alert(the_string);
</script>
