[removed] Convert textarea into an array

Question

How would you go about breaking up a textarea value into an array, based on the end of line separation? Use of jQuery is cool by me...

Answer 1

You could try this function :

function textToArray(){
  var someArray = [];    
  var nameList = $("#txtArea").val();

  $.each(nameList.split(/\n/), function (i, name) {     

      // empty string check
      if(name != ""){

          someArray.push(name);

      }        
});
