Can't split commas out of list

I've got a similar list: list = [',99', ',48', ',48', ',44', ',80', ',82', ',88', ',90', '1,1']

I just want the number to the right of the comma, but when I try splitting:

newList = list.split(',')

I get:

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split'

here split will not work because javascript method .split() is to convert string into array and but here list is an object. you can try console.log(typeof variable); to check type of any variable. So here you can simply use jquery function .each() most common function used for traversing an javascript object.

Try below solution:

var list = [',99', ',48', ',48', ',44', ',80', ',82', ',88', ',90', '1,1'];
var new_list = [];
$(list).each(function( index, item ) {
    var item_array = item.split(',');
    $(item_array).each(function( i, num ) {
        if(num && num != '' && typeof num != 'undefined'){
            new_list.push(num);
        }
    });
});

then use new_list instead of list as it will contain desired output:

["99", "48", "48", "44", "80", "82", "88", "90", "1", "1"]

OR can try alternate way:

var list = [',99', ',48', ',48', ',44', ',80', ',82', ',88', ',90', '1,1'];
var list_str = list.toString();
list = list_str.split(',');
list = list.filter(function(item){
          if(!!item){
            return item;
          }
        });
