@joesbdevFeb 06.2023 — #The split() method splits a string into an array of substrings based on a specified separator string. In this case, the separator string is '.', and the maximum number of splits is set to 2 using the second argument to split().
The resulting array is then combined back into two separate strings, with descriptionPart1 being the first part of the description and descriptionPart2 being the rest.
@ethankuhrtsFeb 05.2023 — #You can try something like this
first splits the string into an array of each sentence then you can access a specific sentence using split_string[index]
to get the rest of the sentences you use .slice(index1, index2) which collects everything between those two indexes. and finally .join after the slice to combine it back into a string.

How to split long string into two parts with JavaScript
I am working on an app that has a lot of legacy content with super long product descriptions that have keywords stuffed into them. The product catalog is about 20 million, so I’m not going to be able to easily edit all of them before going live, and it will be an iterative process. What I am trying to do is split the description strings into two parts, using the first instance of a period “.” as the break point. How can I go from this:
let description = ‘Online Education Concept. Learning Platform For University Students. Person Is Engaged In Self-Education. Distance E-Learning, Modern Technologies And Programs For Study Via Internet, Educational App’;
To this:
description[0] = ‘Online Education Concept.’;
description[1] = ‘Learning Platform For University Students. Person Is Engaged In Self-Education. Distance E-Learning, Modern Technologies And Programs For Study Via Internet, Educational App’;

let descriptionArray = description.split('.', 2);
descriptionArray[0] += '.';
let descriptionPart1 = descriptionArray[0];
let descriptionPart2 = descriptionArray.slice(1).join('.');

let long_string = "this is a very long string. it has multiple sentences. this is the third sentence. aaand one more for good measure."
let split_string = long_string.split(".");
let first = split_string[0];
let second = split.slice(1, -1).join();
first splits the string into an array of each sentence then you can access a specific sentence using split_string[index]
to get the rest of the sentences you use .slice(index1, index2) which collects everything between those two indexes. and finally .join after the slice to combine it back into a string.
