how to get substring from string using jquery

Question

I am new in JQuery and I am trying to get substring from main string.I know there is function available for that but I don't know how to do my task using that.

here is my string

//Page 1
<p>
    <l>  30,  St.Bishop Road,  30min </l> 
    <l>  10,  St.Bishop Road,  10min </l>
</p>

//Page 2
<p> 
    <l>  30,  St.Bishop Road,  30min </l> 
    <l>  10,  St.Bishop Road,  10min </l>
</p>

I want to separate and store each  in array and same way for each  I want to store <l></l> value in array.

Keep in mind that this is not html element.this is string which I get from other task.

so How can I do this using jquery ?

Thanks

You can convert any valid HTML-like string into a jQuery object and you can then treat it as normal:

var $el = $('<p><l>30 St....');
console.log( $el.find('p') );
console.log( $el.find('p').length );
console.log( $el.find('l') );
console.log( $el.find('l').length );

NOTE: I wrote this before OP edit, his markup was not valid and he stated that it was not html.

I'm trying to keep this simple. You don't need jQuery to do this, just use String.split():

The split() method splits a String object into an array of strings by separating the string into substrings.

This does what you need:

var pieces = str.split('<p>');

Note that every piece will end with , use String.substr() to remove that:

var piece = pieces[0].substr(0, pieces[0].length-4));

Do the same for <l> elements.

I could be biased, but that feels much less simple than just having jQuery parse it into a selector :-)

Looking at the first post, it is :-)

this will create one unnecessary array element at first place which will always blank.

I thing you expect this

    $(document).ready(function(){
   var c="<p> <l>  30,  St.Bishop Road,  30min <l> <l>  10,  St.Bishop"+ "Road,10min <l>"+
"</p>"+
"<p>"+ 
    "<l>  30,  St.Bishop Road,  30min <l>"+ 
    "<l>  10,  St.Bishop Road,  10min <l></p>";

    var b=c.split("<p>");
    $(b).each(function(data,value){
        if(data==1){

            var c=(value.split("<l>"))[1];
            alert(c);
        }
        if(data==2) {
            var d=(value.split("<l>"))[1];
            alert(d);
        }
    });



});

His HTML is in a string, it's not part of the DOM

I want to create 2 arrays one is for and one is for <l></l>.so this solution will not work.
