O.P. Ripping variables out from a string?? [solved]

I dont know what it is called, so i cant really search for it. Might have been asked before, so I am real sorry if so.
Anyways.
I need to rip out variables from a string.
Like if the string is #SomeCommand;Variable1;Variable2 (Example: #DoThat;103;208)
How would I then get the 2 variables into useable variables?
Help Please.

wont that just replace all t letters in the text with spaces?
im quite new to scripting, trying to learn.. but that is all i can figure that to do.
If you go for my example (#DoThat;103;208), i would want a variable, lets call it var1, to change its value to 103 and another variable, var2, change its value to 208.
I am sorry if i didnt explain good enough

RE: Ripping variables out from a string??

for example

code:
var strCommand = "#DoThat;130;104";

var arrCommand = strCommand.split(";");
switch (arrCommand[0])
{
case "#DoThat":
//use arrCommand[1] to get 130 and arrCommand[2] to get 104
break;
}

Matty doesn't seem to have understood your question.

You can use the ".split" method of a string variable to return an array.

For example:

code:
var blah = "#DoThat;103;208";
var arr = blah.split(";");

var var1 = arr[1]; // note it starts at 0, so arr[0] = #DoThat
var var2 = arr[2]; // var2 will be 208

EDIT: Damn you Dhaya.

The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

function DoThat(a,b)
{
return a*b;
}

var blah = "DoThat(332,343)";
var DoneThat = eval(blah);
