You should learn about the difference between JavaScript and jQuery. jQuery is just a library focused on manipulating a web page. Simple operations like this are done directly in JavaScript. — RoToRa

You can use JavaScript's split function.

var some_text = "blah;blah;blahness";
var arr = some_text.split(';');
alert(arr[2]); //blahness
