[SOLVED] How to remove certain array elments and put them in a new array?

[galvin]

If you have this array...

 

var animals = new Array("cat*","dog*","monkey","whale*","emu","llama*")

 

....How can you make a new array of ONLY the elements in the first array that end in an asterisk?  So the new array would be..

 

("cat*","dog*","whale*","llama*")

 

Again, how do you extract just the ones that end in an asterisk and put them in a new array?

Thanks!

Loop through them, check if it ends in a *, then add it to a new array. Otherwise, go to the next entry.

Thanks...can you tell me what function to use to check to see if an array element ends with a certain character (in this case, an asterisk)?

You can just use Regex.
