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.

code:

---

var sTmp = 'this is some text';

sTmp.replace('t', '');

---

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

---

\o/ at least he'll understand better with two examples

Thank you very much for helping me ^^

Woops help if I read the entire thread

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

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