Split variable using multiple special characters - jQuery

Question

I have a variable

var i = "my*text+val-ab/c"

I want to split it using special characters *, +, - and /. I mean, I want to generate:

var one = "my", var two = "text", var three = "val"

from the above variable.

How can I do this using jQuery and (or) Javascript?

var ret1 = id.split("+");

Thanks in advance...

Try splitting on a character class containing all symbols:

var i = "my*text+val-ab/c";
var parts = i.split(/[*,+=\/-]/);
console.log(parts);
