How can I split text into a list everytime it finds a character in JS?

Question

I am trying to create a code to iterate through a save code, and I think it’ll be something like this :

Username;Password;Points

How can I split the above text into a list like this : [Username, Password, Points] ,everytime it finds a semicolon using Javascript?

Thanks in advance :)

Did you try the string method [`split`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/split)? Maybe `str.split(';')`? If you did a search for "split text javascript" you would have come across all the documentation you needed. — Andy, Aug 09 '21 at 07:19

Just use split:

var input = "Username;Password;Points";
var parts = input.split(";");
console.log(parts);

How can I add the substrings into a list? (Like this : `[Username,Password,Points]`) – KornLS Aug 09 '21 at 07:22
@KornRT2018 The output of `split` is an _array_, not a list. But a list probably will suffice for what you need here. – Tim Biegeleisen Aug 09 '21 at 07:23
