javascript - Dividing words from text starting with a certain character -

i want test each word text if starts character # if does, put word in variable 'response' if not, continue searching. tried :

var found = false; (i = 0; < text.length; i++) {      if (found = /^#...$/.test(text[i])) {         found = true;      }      if (found== true){           //other stuff      } } 

could me 1 ?

you can use split on space, , use substring find first letter. compare it.

demo

var arr= text.split(' ');  (i = 0; < arr.length; i++) {     if (arr[i].substring(0,1) == '#') {         console.log('found!: ' + arr[i]);         break;     } }
