# Javascript String - split() Method

## Description:

This method splits a String object into an array of strings by separating the string into substrings.

## Syntax:

    string.split([separator][, limit]);

Here is the detail of parameters:

- separator : Specifies the character to use for separating the string. If separator is omitted, the array returned contains one element consisting of the entire string.

- limit : Integer specifying a limit on the number of splits to be found.

## Return Value:

- The split method returns the new array. Also, when the string is empty, split returns an array containing one empty string, rather than an empty array.

## Example:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>JavaScript String split() Method</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <script type="text/javascript">

    var str = "Apples are round, and apples are juicy.";

    var splitted = str.split(" ", 3);

    document.write( splitted );

    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

This will produce following result:

    Apples,are,round,
