How do I split a string, breaking at a particular character in JavaScript?



To split a string on every occurrence of ~, split the array. After splitting, add a line break i.e. <br> for each occurrence of ~.

For example,

This is demo text 1!~This is demo text 2!~~This is demo text 3!

After the split and adding line breaks like the following for ~ occurrence −

This is demo text 1! This is demo text 2! This is demo text 3!

Example

Let’s see the complete example
