• Tushar: Can you add your complete code of how you're getting this array?
• Andreas: String.prototype.split()
• Abdul Rehman: if that's how u r getting the string. write it the way u desire.

Answer 1

Use the .split(',') function. It splits a string into an array of substrings that were separated by ',' character, and return a new array.For more info about split function please visit this link.

 var a = ["PG,PGR"]
 a= a[0].split(',');

Answer 2

try this : iterate array and use split(",") which will return you new array.

var a = ["PG,PGR"];
var newArray = new Array();
$.each(a , function(i,v){
 newArray.push(v.split(",")); 
});
alert(newArray);

Answer 4

The following can handle arrays like ["PG,PGR","a","asd,asdsa"] also.

function load(){
 var a = ["PG,PGR","a","asd,asdsa"];
 document.getElementById('test').value = a.join(',').split(',');
}

<input id="test" value="" type="text">
<input value="Load" type="button" onclick="load()">

Answer 5

Try this:

var newArray = new Array(["PG,PGR"]);
$.each(newArray, function( index, value ) {
 alert( value + ",");
});
