How to splice several strings

Question

Good evening, I am attempting to extract multiple variables in a line which is separated by tabs. Here is an example of the lines:

ALPRAZOLAM XANAX ANXIETY F41.1
ALPRAZOLAM XANAX DEPRESSION F33.0

How would one go about extracting the individual values from this line? Thank you!

Split by line break, iterate over the list of strings and split each one by tab (or whitespace). https://stackoverflow.com/q/96428/218196 — Felix Kling, Jan 25 '19 at 18:41

const x = `ALPRAZOLAM XANAX ANXIETY F41.1
ALPRAZOLAM XANAX DEPRESSION F33.0`;

const y = x.split("\n").flatMap(el => el.split(" "));

console.log(y);

You can split it on the basis of space and adding them into an array like this

var string = "ALPRAZOLAM XANAX DEPRESSION F33.0";
var array = string.split( "\n" );
console.log(array);

For splitting it on the basis of new line and whitespace use this

var string = "ALPRAZOLAM XANAX DEPRESSION F33.0";
var array = string.split(/\s+/);
console.log(array);

Done it with plain JS

var input = "ALPRAZOLAM XANAX ANXIETY F41.1";
var arr = [];

arr = input.split(' ');

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
  console.log(arr[i]);
}
