Split string on newline and comma [duplicate]

Question

My input String is like

abc,def,wer,str

Currently its splitting only on comma but in future it will contain both comma and newline. Current code as below:

$scope.memArray = $scope.memberList.split(",");

In future I need to split on both comma and newline what should be the regex to split both on comma and newline. I tried - /,\n\ but its not working.

look at this stackoverflow.com/questions/650022/…

You can use a regex:

var splitted = "a\nb,c,d,e\nf".split(/[\n,]/);
document.write(JSON.stringify(splitted));

Explanation: [...] defines a "character class", which means any character from those in the brackets.

_{p.s. splitted is grammatically incorrect. Who cares if it's descriptive though?}

You could replace all the newlines with a comma before splitting.

$scope.memberList.replace(/\n/g, ",").split(",")

This would only match the first occurrence of a new line. You'd have to do .replace(/\n/g, ",") to replace all occurrences

It should actually be .replace(/\r?\n/g, ",") to handle both unix/mac and windows new lines.

Try

.split(/[\n,]+/)

this regex should work.
