Is it possible to read each line from a HTML textarea into a
javascript array. For example:
If I were to input into the textarea:
1
4
6
3
Could I somehow have javascript read it so:
array[1]=1
array[2]=4
array[3]=6
array[4]=3
And also, is it possible to find how many lines long a textarea is?
Thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated.
Note that the first element of an array is indexed as 0,
not 1. Otherwise, this seems to be generally what you want:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function textareaToArray(t){
return t.value.split(/[\n\r]+/);
}
function showArray(a){
var msg="";
for(var i=0;i<a.length;i++){
msg+=i+": "+a[i]+"\n";
}
alert(msg);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<textarea rows="10" cols="20" name="alpha"></textarea>
<br>
<input type="button"
value="show array"
onclick="showArray(textareaToArray(this.form.alpha ))">
</form>
</body>
</html>
