Creating Arrays from Strings

[evanburen]

How would I put 2 strings like this into 2 separate arrays like my
examples below? Thanks.

Div10,Div11|Div2,Div3,Div8,Div4,Div12,Div1,Div5|Div3,Div5,Div9

France|Germany|Norway


var DivOrder = new
Array("Div10,Div11","Div2,Div3,Div8,Div4,Div12,Div1","Div3,Div5,Div9");
var DivNames = new Array("France", "Germany", "Norway");

Easy Piesy lemon squeezy!

just .split!

foo = "Div10,Div11|Div2,Div3,Div8,Div4,Div12,Div1,Div5|Div3,Div5,Div9";
bar = foo.split("|");

now bar[0] = "Div10,Div11"
and bar[1] = "Div2,Div3,Div8,Div4,Div12,Div1,Div5|"
and you get the idea.

var orderstr =
'Div10,Div11|Div2,Div3,Div8,Div4,Div12,Div1,Div5|Div3,Div5,Div9';
var namestr = 'France|Germany|Norway';

var DivOrder = orderstr.split('|');
var DivNames = namestr.split('|');

Oh, and if you want to do the opposite, say:

var DivNames = new Array("France", "Germany", "Norway");
var I_hate_arrays = DivNames.join("|");

now I_hate_arrays == "France|Germany|Norway"

Great, thanks. What if I had one long string like this that I separated
into 2 sections with a ~ character.

Div10,Div11|Div2,Div3,Div8,Div4,Div12,Div1,Div5|Div3,Div5,Div9~France|Germany|Norway

var temp = srcString.split('~');
var DivOrder = temp[0].split('|');
var DivNames = temp[1].split('|');
