Hi list...

I'm trying to build a simple search engine where users enter one or more
keywords.  But first, I'm trying to format a nice clean array based on
what's entered, taking into account extra spaces, commas, etc.  Any
ideas?  Below isn't really working for me.

// criteria is the text entered into the input field ("Dog,
cat,squirrel, bird - horse:worm")
var changeToSpaces:Array = [",",", ", "-"," - ",":",": ","\r","\t"];
for(var i=0;i<changeToSpaces.length;i++){
this.criteria[0].split(changeToSpaces[i]);
}

Ideal result is:
["Dog", "cat", "squirrel", "bird", "horse", "worm"]

Thanks!
