Split string by hashtag and save into array with jQuery?

arrays, javascript, jquery, string

Solution

DEMO

var words = "#hashtagged no hashtag #antoherhashtag";
var tagslistarr = words.split(' ');
var arr=[];
$.each(tagslistarr,function(i,val){
    if(tagslistarr[i].indexOf('#') == 0){
      arr.push(tagslistarr[i]);  
    }
});
console.log(arr);

`tagslistarr = words.split(' ')` splits words with spaces to from a new array

$.each() loops through the each value of `tagslistarr` array

`if(tagslistarr[i].indexOf('#') == 0)` checks is the `#` is in the beginning of the and if this condition is `true` it adds it into the `arr` array

Problem

I have a var that has a string with a series of words, some of which have hashtags, eg: ``` var words = "#hashtagged no hashtag #antoherhashtag"; ``` I want to save each hashtagged word into an array, kind of like: ``` var tagslistarr = words.split(' '); ``` But I am unsure of how to get the characters surrounded by both the # and the space. Is there a special way of doing this? Is there some ASCII characters I am meant to use to identify this?
