How to Push AJAX array response into an js array

Question

On a AjAX call , i am getting data

success : function(data){
               alert(data);
         }

This is the result of that alert

[/files/1.jpg,/files/2.jpg,/files/3.jpg]

I want to push this result into a javascript array

 var outputdata = [];

Where the array outputdata should look like

 var outputdata = [/files/1.jpg,/files/2.jpg,/files/3.jpg];

I tried this way

success : function(data){
               alert(data);
outputdata.push(data);

         }

Updated Part

I tried with yours as wel as with this

success: function(data) {
                $.each(data, function(i) {

                    outputdata.push(data[i]);
                });
                alert(outputdata);

                outputdata.forEach(function (element) {

                      content = "<div><a href='#'><img src=" + element + "   /></a></div>";
                     $("#container").append(content);
                    });

            }

enter image description here

The initial alert data is fine (I mean initial means )

success: function(data) {

             alert(data);

                $.each(data, function(i) {

                    outputdata.push(data[i]);
                });
                alert(outputdata);

See the Picture of initial alert

Why would you do that? data is already an array and you can call the elements by

data[i]

Or is it a data string that is returned from you ajax call? Than you need to parse it first, like

var your_data = JSON.parse(data);

and can call it by

your_data[i]

Anyway, looping an array would look like this:

success: function(data) {
    $.each(data, function(i) {
        outputdata[i] = data[i];
    });
}
