String split in java script / Angularjs

Question

I have my string like this:

selectedDates: 06/15/2015,06/14/2015,06/12/2015,06/10/2015,06/09/2015

and I would like to have these dates in an array of strings.

When I do var selectedDatesArray = selectedDates.split(",");

I am getting this error:

TypeError: selectedDates.split is not a function

What am I missing? This part of the code is in angularjs's controller.

How is selectedDates defined? I see a colon in the declaration. is selectedDates part of a json object? — Abhishek Jain

selectedDates is a string that has dates seperated by a comma. — JBone

But why is there a colon in the declaration? Is it part of a json object? If yes then you will have to do thatObject.selectedDates.split(","). And also, there is no quotes around the string. — Abhishek Jain

that colon is got in there because I had it in my console.log like this console.log('in updateScreen self.selectedDates: '+ self.selectedDates); — JBone

Try your code in Chrome's console and you should see what the problem is. — Abhishek Jain

please try this code:

var myStr = '06/15/2015,06/14/2015,06/12/2015,06/10/2015,06/09/2015 ';
var splitArr = myStr.split(',');

this should work for you.
