Javascript split() breaking my code
Mar 03, 2016

Hello all, So I have this code and all is good. I am collecting Notes form the course then on click I want to print them out. Well they come out in a single line like (XXXXXXXXXX DDDDDDDDDDD SSSSSSS) for each section. What I want to do is use the split() function to make 3 in this case number if lines.
Whenever I place the split function in the code and press the btn nothing happens.
Below is the good code
var player = GetPlayer();
//var course = player.GetVar("courseName");
var notes1 = player.GetVar("TE_CCE_Overview_Notes");
var notes2 = player.GetVar("TE_Market_Drivers_Notes");
var notes3 = player.GetVar("TE_Benefits_Notes");
var notes4 = player.GetVar("TE_Ideal_Customer_Notes");
var FontSizeHead = "18px";
var FontSizeBody = "12px";
newwindow=window.open();
newdocument=newwindow.document; d = new Date();
newdocument.write('<style>body{padding:20px;font-family:arial,sans-serif}</style>'+' <span style="font-size:"'+FontSizeHead+';">Notes - '+(d.getMonth() + 1)+'/'+d.getDate()+'/'+d.getFullYear()+'</span>'+' <br><br>'+' <span style="font-size:'+FontSizeBody+'"><strong>TE CCE Overview Notes:</strong><br />'+ notes1 +'</span>'+' <br><br>'+' <span style="font-size:'+FontSizeBody+'"><strong>TE Market Drivers Notes:</strong><br />'+ notes2 +'</span>'+' <br><br>'+' <span style="font-size:'+FontSizeBody+'"><strong>TE Benefits Notes:</strong><br />'+ notes3 +'</span>'+' <br><br>'+' <span style="font-size:'+FontSizeBody+'"><strong>TE Ideal Customer Notes:</strong><br />'+ notes4 +'</span>');
Now after var FontSizeBody = "12px"; I add
var N1 = split(notes1, \/n);
Then replace the notes1 var down in the body of the new html with N1 the wheels come off and nothing happens.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Bobby,
I think you need to call split function like this - one is string & other one is regex
var N1 = notes1.split("\n");
or
var N1 = notes1.split(/\n/);
Hope it helps.
Thank you for your response but I seem to still be missing something. Can you please help?
var notes1 = player.GetVar("TE_CCE_Overview_Notes");
...
var N1 = notes1.split("\n");
//var N1 = notes1.split(/[a-z]+$/gm);
//var N1 = notes1.replace(/ \n /,"<br/>");
//var N1 = notes1.replace(/ \f /,"<br/>");
//var N1 = notes1.replace(/ \r /,"<br/>");
alert(N1.length);
for (i = 0; i < N1.length; i++) {
N1String += N1[i] + "<br>";
alert(N1String);
}
//var N1String = "";
//for (i = 0; i < N1.length; i++) {
// N1String += N1[i] + "<br>";
// }
//alert(N1String);
I will type into my textentry box 3 lines
When I check it comes back as one string. I am unable to detect the end of the line so I can insert a <br /> tag
Thanks for any help

Hi Bobby,
Could you please share your story file? It's easier to debug that way.
Thanks.
