为什么我不能使用Google Apps脚本对带空格的字符串执行.split（）？

Question

I'm having a hard time getting the .split() function to work when the string by which it's being split has spaces or any characters other than simple letters or numbers in it. I've tried escaping them with backslash notation, but it's not working. The code below doesn't supply a second item in the resulting array.

function isGoodSerp(kw, optResults, optTld, optStart) {
  errorOccurred = false;
  kw = kw || "office 365";
  optResults = optResults || 10;
  optStart = optStart || 0;
  optTld = optTld || '.com';
  try {
    var url = 'http://www.google' + optTld + '/search?q=' + kw + '&start=' + optStart + '&num=' + optResults;
    var fullHtml = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText();

    var noHeaderHtml = fullHtml.split("Search Results");
    Logger.log("noHeaderHtml" + noHeaderHtml[1]);

  } catch(e) {
    errorOccurred = true;
    return e;
  }
}

I think, the text you want to split with does not exists in the resulting page (as Babajide Fowotade already stated). Thus the result is a single element with the complete fullHtml -content.

Example:

console.log(("test").split('XXX'));

results in ["test"] .

I don't know what you are trying to reach. There is no text "Search results" in the google search results page - at least not if I use it...

Split is working by searching for the text you provide and return the text "around".

Example:

console.log(("this is a test").split(' '));

results in ["this", "is", "a", "test"] .
