如何将字符串沿着Javascript中的某些字符分成多个字符串

Question

I am new at programming so it would be help if the answers very simple, but in Javascript I have a variable called "time". It might be "10:36 PM" for example, and I want to split it along the colon and the space, so that it becomes the three different variables: 10, 36, and PM

I know how to cut off the end or beginning of variables, but I need something that will save all of the parts as a separate variable.

Answer 1

You can do.

time = time.split(/:|\s/);

Let me explain what's going on inside the split call.

The / at the start and the end means it's a regular expression. The : is just a colon, \\s means a space character, the | between them is special in regular expressions and basically means or .
