If Spliter is found then only

Split it

else return the same string

function SplitTheString(ResultStr) {
    if (ResultStr != null) {
        var SplitChars = '~';
        if (ResultStr.indexOf(SplitChars) >= 0) {
            var DtlStr = ResultStr.split(SplitChars);
            var name  = DtlStr[0];
            var street = DtlStr[1];
        }
    }
}
