JavaScript split method not working

I'm having a strange problem trying to split a string, I split it once and save it as a variable, but then I try to split the value that I've just created and I can't, it throws an error saying: Cannot call method 'split' of undefined

justName    = fullLine.split('(', 1)[0];

dateOne     = fullLine.split('(', 2)[1];

dateTwo = dateOne.split(')', 1);

console.log(dateTwo);

If I log out justName then there is no problem.

An example of fullLine would be :

In the Heat of the Night (1967)

var str="In the Heat of the Night (1967)"; 
dateOne = str.split('(', 2)[1];
dateTwo = dateOne.split(')', 1);

console.log(dateTwo);

It is working fine

I can see it working. Check this jsFiddle here.

<div id="a"></div>
<input type="button" onclick="abc()" value="Split" />

function abc(){    
    var fullLine="hello(world)Qwerty";
    justName    = fullLine.split('(', 1)[0];
    dateOne     = fullLine.split('(', 2)[1];
    dateTwo = dateOne.split(')', 1);
    alert(dateTwo);
}
