jquery - Split each string from any given paragraph in javascript -


i have textarea. trying split each string paragraph, has proper grammar based punctuation delimiters ,.!? or more if any.

i trying achieve using javascript. trying such strings in using regular expression in answer

but here, in javascript me it's not working. here's code snippet more clarity

$('#split').click(function(){     var textareacontent = $('#textarea').val();     //split string i.e.., textarea content     var splittedarray = textareacontent.split("\\w+");     alert("splitted array "+splittedarray);     var lengthofsplittedarray = splittedarray.length;     alert('lengthoftext '+lengthofsplittedarray);   }); 

since unable split, showing length 1. apt regular expression here.

the regular expression shouldn't differ between java , javascript, .split() method in java accepts regular expression string. if want use regular expression in javascript, need create one...like so:

.split(/\w+/) 

demo: http://jsfiddle.net/s3b5j/

notice / , / create regular expression literal. java version needed 2 "\" because enclosed in string.
