The substrings are determined by michael@0: searching from left to right for occurrences of the given separator; these michael@0: occurrences are not part of any substring in the returned array, but serve michael@0: to divide up this string value. The separator may be a string of any length. michael@0: michael@0: As a special case, if the separator is the empty string, the string is split michael@0: up into individual characters; the length of the result array equals the michael@0: length of the string, and each substring contains one character. michael@0: michael@0: If the separator is not supplied, then the result array contains just one michael@0: string, which is the string. michael@0: michael@0: When the split method is called with one argument separator, the following steps are taken: michael@0: michael@0: 1. Call ToString, giving it the this value as its argument. michael@0: 2. Create a new Array object of length 0 and call it A. michael@0: 3. If separator is not supplied, call the [[Put]] method of A with 0 and michael@0: Result(1) as arguments, and then return A. michael@0: 4. Call ToString(separator). michael@0: 5. Compute the number of characters in Result(1). michael@0: 6. Compute the number of characters in the string that is Result(4). michael@0: 7. Let p be 0. michael@0: 8. If Result(6) is zero (the separator string is empty), go to step 17. michael@0: 9. Compute the smallest possible integer k not smaller than p such that michael@0: k+Result(6) is not greater than Result(5), and for all nonnegative michael@0: integers j less than Result(6), the character at position k+j of michael@0: Result(1) is the same as the character at position j of Result(2); michael@0: but if there is no such integer k, then go to step 14. michael@0: 10. Compute a string value equal to the substring of Result(1), consisting michael@0: of the characters at positions p through k1, inclusive. michael@0: 11. Call the [[Put]] method of A with A.length and Result(10) as arguments. michael@0: 12. Let p be k+Result(6). michael@0: 13. Go to step 9. michael@0: 14. Compute a string value equal to the substring of Result(1), consisting michael@0: of the characters from position p to the end of Result(1). michael@0: 15. Call the [[Put]] method of A with A.length and Result(14) as arguments. michael@0: 16. Return A. michael@0: 17. If p equals Result(5), return A. michael@0: 18. Compute a string value equal to the substring of Result(1), consisting of michael@0: the single character at position p. michael@0: 19. Call the [[Put]] method of A with A.length and Result(18) as arguments. michael@0: 20. Increase p by 1. michael@0: 21. Go to step 17. michael@0: michael@0: Note that the split function is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be a String michael@0: object. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method. michael@0: michael@0: Author: christine@netscape.com michael@0: Date: 12 november 1997 michael@0: */ michael@0: michael@0: var SECTION = "15.5.4.8-3"; michael@0: var VERSION = "ECMA_1"; michael@0: startTest(); michael@0: var TITLE = "String.prototype.split"; michael@0: michael@0: writeHeaderToLog( SECTION + " "+ TITLE); michael@0: michael@0: var TEST_STRING = ""; michael@0: var EXPECT = new Array(); michael@0: michael@0: // this.toString is the empty string. michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(); s.split().length", michael@0: 1, michael@0: eval("var s = new String(); s.split().length") ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(); s.split()[0]", michael@0: "", michael@0: eval("var s = new String(); s.split()[0]") ); michael@0: michael@0: // this.toString() is the empty string, separator is specified. michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(); s.split('').length", michael@0: 0, michael@0: eval("var s = new String(); s.split('').length") ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(); s.split(' ').length", michael@0: 1, michael@0: eval("var s = new String(); s.split(' ').length") ); michael@0: michael@0: // this to string is " " michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(' '); s.split().length", michael@0: 1, michael@0: eval("var s = new String(' '); s.split().length") ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(' '); s.split()[0]", michael@0: " ", michael@0: eval("var s = new String(' '); s.split()[0]") ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(' '); s.split('').length", michael@0: 1, michael@0: eval("var s = new String(' '); s.split('').length") ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(' '); s.split('')[0]", michael@0: " ", michael@0: eval("var s = new String(' '); s.split('')[0]") ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(' '); s.split(' ').length", michael@0: 2, michael@0: eval("var s = new String(' '); s.split(' ').length") ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "var s = new String(' '); s.split(' ')[0]", michael@0: "", michael@0: eval("var s = new String(' '); s.split(' ')[0]") ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "\"\".split(\"\").length", michael@0: 0, michael@0: ("".split("")).length ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "\"\".split(\"x\").length", michael@0: 1, michael@0: ("".split("x")).length ); michael@0: michael@0: new TestCase( SECTION, michael@0: "\"\".split(\"x\")[0]", michael@0: "", michael@0: ("".split("x"))[0] ); michael@0: michael@0: test(); michael@0: michael@0: function Split( string, separator ) { michael@0: string = String( string ); michael@0: michael@0: var A = new Array(); michael@0: michael@0: if ( arguments.length < 2 ) { michael@0: A[0] = string; michael@0: return A; michael@0: } michael@0: michael@0: separator = String( separator ); michael@0: michael@0: var str_len = String( string ).length; michael@0: var sep_len = String( separator ).length; michael@0: michael@0: var p = 0; michael@0: var k = 0; michael@0: michael@0: if ( sep_len == 0 ) { michael@0: for ( ; p < str_len; p++ ) { michael@0: A[A.length] = String( string.charAt(p) ); michael@0: } michael@0: } michael@0: return A; michael@0: }
