Note that string manipulation is javascript not jquery, I've updated the tags+question slightly to reflect this. — freedomn-m, Mar 12 '20 at 11:22

You can split on both ? and . at the same time using the regular expression format of .split(), ie:

words.split(/[?.]/)

Example snippet:

var test = "abc?def.ghi";
var parts = test.split(/[?.]/)
console.log(parts)
