How to use split()

Question

Here are the strings like this

var a = ".fontlist-1 .fontlist-2";
var b = ".fontlist-1 .fontlist-3";
var c = ".fontlist-1 .fontlist-4";

What I need is how can I use the split() method and get only the second word in the string. For the above strings, I need only the second words( ie., .fontlist-2, .fontlist-3, .fontlist-4). How can I split and get that word? If you need any more information, I can give you.

One more thing. At some situation, If I have string like this.

var a = ".fontlist-1"

Your code must give me the .fontlist-1 word then. Will it be possible?

Could anyone guide me? Thanks!

".fontlist-1 .fontlist-2".split(/\s+/)[1] gives you the second word of the string, in this case .fontlist-2. You could have found it yourself.

Well, what the heck ... for a, b, and c try:

[a,b,c]
   .map(function(el){return el.split(/\s+/).pop();})
   .join(' ');
//=> ".fontlist-2 .fontlist-3 .fontlist-4"

I think he wants to split on the space, including the `.` in the word. – Andy E May 06 '12 at 10:28
Will this code work when I have string like this var a = ".fontlist-1". In that case I need that ".fontlist-1" – rnk May 06 '12 at 10:32
@mk: Why don't you just try it? – Felix Kling May 06 '12 at 10:39
@mk: No, it won't. Use `split(/\s+/).pop()` instead. – Andy E May 06 '12 at 10:39
