splitting up a value into multiple variables

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello,
How would I take a value, for instance: 85 and convert each digit into a variable. (Like digit1 and digit2). But before it converts it, it checks to see if there are one or two digits, if one: the variable digit1 would equal zero and then digit2 would be the value.
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve

I just had to use javascript's split() function.

For instince:
<i>
</i>var myvalue = "85";
var digits = myvalue.split("");

then I would get an array:

digits[0] would be "8"

and

digits[1] would be "5"

[code=php]var myStr = "85";
alert(myStr.charAt(0)); // Displays "8"
alert(myStr.charAt(1)); // Displays "5"[/code]

@herodote92Feb 27.2005 — Oh, I never thought of using String.split(""), but actually, this is interesting. I just found in my reference book that the opposite method would be Array.join().

Eh eh, one learns a little bit every day...
