Splitting a string based on multiple char delimiters in Javascript
The str.split() function is used to split the given string into array of strings by separating it into substrings using a specified separator provided in the argument.
The Array.join() function is used to join the elements of the array together into a string. This method adds the elements of an array into a string and returns the newly created string. The elements separates by a specific separator. Default separator used is comma (, ).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<button onclick = "gfg_Run()">

</button>
<p id="GFG_DOWN" style="font-size:25px; font-weight:bold;"></p>
<script>
var el_up = document.getElementById("GFG_UP");
var el_down = document.getElementById("GFG_DOWN");
var str = "A, computer science, portal!";
el_up.innerHTML = str;
function gfg_Run() {
var arr = str.split(/[\s, ]+/)
el_down.innerHTML = arr;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
