How to parse a string in javascript?
<p>I'm just curious how I go about splitting a variable into a few other variables.</p>

<p>For example, say I have the following javascript:</p>

<pre><code>var coolVar = '123-abc-itchy-knee';
</code></pre>

<p>And I wanted to split that into 4 variables, how does one do that?</p>

<p>To wind up with an array where</p>

<pre><code>array[0] == 123
and
array[1] == abc
</code></pre>

<p>etc would be cool.</p>

<p>Or (a variable for each part of the string)</p>

<pre><code>var1 == 123  
and 
var2 == abc 
</code></pre>

<p>Could work... either way. How do you split a javascript string? </p>
