Hi sry,

Use this code its working tried in Background Script.

var regex =/"(.*?)"/g

var str = '"text1","text2","","","","text3","text4","text5"';

var finalResults = str.match(regex).map(function makeFinalArr(item){
      return gs.print(item.replace(/\"/g, ""));
});

//finalResults; // ["text1", "text2","","", "text3", "text4,text5"]

hope this helps!

Hi Harsha, thank you.

It is not an array. it is only a string and i still need to split it or regex it and put final results in array.

 

var str = "text1","text2","","","","text3,text4";

 

thanks,

you have to push into an array, it would be easy after that. 

Hi Harsha, sorry i do not understand but my question itself is about how to push the string between quotes into array(including empty values).

thanks,

ry

quick question , how are you getting the value ? and where are you using the script ? 

assuming you get it from some column , you you just first store as string and then push them into an array using push()

once you will push then into an array you can read empty value as well,
