Exception abusing

in case string/character literals are prohibited, you can use a try catch block:

try{something0}catch(e){str=e.message.split(0)[0]}

now str equals "something"

if more strings are needed you can chain it with a number (e.g. zeros)

try{something0foo0bar0}catch(e){arr=e.message.split(0)}

now arr equals ["something", "foo", "bar", " is not defined"]
