jquery - JavaScript break sentence by words

Question

What's a good strategy to get full words into an array with its succeeding character.

Example.

This is an amazing sentence.

Array(
[0] => This 
[1] => is
[2] => an
[3] => amazing
[4] => sentence.
)

Elements 0 - 3 would have a succeeding space, as a period succeeds the 4th element.

I need you to split these by spacing character, Then once width of element with injected array elements reaches X, Break into a new line.

Please, gawd don't give tons of code. I prefer to write my own just tell me how you would do it.

Answer 1

Just use split:

var str = "This is an amazing sentence.";
var words = str.split(" ");
console.log(words);
//["This", "is", "an", "amazing", "sentence."]

and if you need it with a space, why don't you just do that? (use a loop afterwards)

var str = "This is an amazing sentence.";
var words = str.split(" ");
for (var i = 0; i < words.length - 1; i++) {
    words[i] += " ";
}
console.log(words);
//["This ", "is ", "an ", "amazing ", "sentence."]

Oh, and sleep well!
