TypeScript - split string by hyphen sign (minus sign - ascii 45 code)

In this article, we would like to show you how to split string by hyphen sign in TypeScript.

String split() function takes as parameter character by which the string will be split into an array of substrings. As the result of String split() we get an array. To access an element we just get an element by its index.

xxxxxxxxxx

const text: string = 'split-this-text';

const split: string[] = text.split('-');

​

const element1: string = split[0];

const element2: string = split[1];

const element3: string = split[2];

​

console.log(element1); // split

console.log(element2); // this

console.log(element3); // text

Output:

xxxxxxxxxx

split

this

text
