ionic 2 - converting a sentence string to array of words

Question

I have a string of words (they are separated by new line)

aa
aaa
aaaa
aaaaa

and I want to add it to an array "words"

[1] = aa
[2] = aaa
[3] = aaaa
[4] = aaaaa

how can I do this in ionic 2? I know in java it would look like this

String s = "This is a sample sentence.";
String[] words = s.split("\\s+");
for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {

    words[i] = words[i].replaceAll("[^\\w]", "");
}

but can't figure it out in ionic 2.

Answer 1

In Javascript or Typescript you could do the same with:

  const s = "This is a sample sentence."; const words = s.split(" "); // displaying the array for (word of words){ console.log(word); }
