JavaScript - Spilit string by single or multiple white space

Problem:

Many of the time we require to get particular portion of the string for further modification. At this time we need to split particular sting.

Solution:

In JavaScript  we can use split() method with regular expression to split  sting and get desired results. Let's take a look at following given string.

first second third fourth fifth     sixth            Seventh 

"\s" is a regular expression which matches spaces, tabs and new line etc. "\s+" regular expression will match multiple occurrence of the white space and tabs.

var input = "first second third fourth fifth     sixth            Seventh ";
var output = input.split(/\s+/);
console.log(output);

Output: 

Output will be a array and it will look something like following image.
