split the string

[joshishree]

Bhagyashree Pradeep Joshi,ggg

var array = name.split(",");

var newname =array[0];

alert(newname);

var name2 = newname.split(" ");

var firstname1 = name2[0];

var lastname2 = name2[1];

alert(firstname1);

alert(lastname2);

here ,alert(firstname1); = Bhagyashree

alert(lastname2); =   Pradeep

I want 'bhagyashree' in one variable and 'Pradeep Joshi' in another variable

how to achieve that

You simply need to extract the third element of your newname array:

var nextname = name2[2];

Then concatenate those variables:

var another_variable = lastname2 + " " + nextname;

nb: as you're new to scripting, "name", "newname", "firstname1" aren't great variable names.  

Also, it's an idea to alert() some text rather than just the variable - if the variable is blank, you'll get some confusing popup. Better to use:

alert("The value of firstname1 is: " + firstname1);
