what is the reg exp to do this?

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I want to create a regular expression that will take a single input
name field and save the first and last names to two separate js vars.
The criteria for determining what is the separation would be the first
occurrence of a space (ascii code = 32). However, note that a user
may only enter one word or nothing at all. If the DOM id for the
field I want to parse is "nameField", how would I do this?

Thanks, - Dave

var fullname=document.getElementById("nameField");
var firstSpace=fullname.indexOf(' ');
WScript.Echo(
"First Name:"+fullname.substr(0,firstSpace)
+"\nLast Name:"+fullname.substr(firstSpace+1)
)

WScript.Echo(
"First Name:"+fullname.substr(0,firstSpace)

alert(
"First Name:"+fullname.substr(0,firstSpace)
