Split string into array by multiple characters, useful for script parsing.

multisplit.js

function multiSplit(split_str, split_chars) {
    var arr = split_str.split(split_chars[0]);

    for (var i = 1, iMax = split_chars.length; i < iMax; i++) {
        var sc = split_chars[i];
        for (var j = 0, jMax = arr.length; j < jMax; j++) {
            var arsplit = arr[j].split(sc);
            if (arsplit.length > 1) {
                for (var k = 0; k < arsplit.length; k++) {
                    if (arsplit[k].trim() !== "") {
                        arr.splice(j + k, (k == 0) ? 1 : 0, arsplit[k]);
                        iMax++;
                    }
                }
            } else {
                arr[j] = arr[j].trim().replace(sc, "");
                if (arr[j] === "") {
                    arr.splice(j, 1);
                    jMax--;
                    j--;
                }
            }
