JavaScript: Explode String Function

JavaScript indeed has an explode function. However, there, it is not called explode but .split().

Here is a small example how to use of this function.

var str = "one two three";
var arr = str.split(" ");

Here, we want to separate the string "one two three" by a space. So, we have to pass a space to the split-function. After that, the variable arr is an array with the three elements "one", "two" and "three".

By the way, if you pass an empty string, for example s.split (""), you will get back an array that contains every single letter of the original string as an individual element.
