Update a string seperated by | using split

Hi,

I have a string, let's say: var mystring= '6|8|444|2|9|4|2|1|6|77|998|111'

I would like to change in JAvscript for example the value 444 in the string by another value assuming that I know that 444 is at position 3

Thanks

var mystring=  '6|8|444|2|9|4|2|1|6|77|998|111'
var arr = mystring.split("|");
//replace value
var result = arr.join();

Hello,

I can't make it work, please see below my function:

 function CostPOPUP()
        {
        var mySplitResult=document.all('<%=HF_LTA.ClientID%>').value.split('|');
        for(i = 0; i < mySplitResult.length; i++)
          {
          if(i==parseInt(document.all('<%=inhRow.ClientID%>').value))
          {mySplitResult[i]=document.all('<%= Tbx_LTATargetnew.ClientID%>').value +'$'+document.all('<%= Tbx_LTAScopenew.ClientID%>').value;}
         
        }
        document.all('<%=HF_LTA.ClientID%>').value=mySplitResult.join();
       alert( document.all('<%=HF_LTA.ClientID%>').value.split('|')[document.all('<%=inhRow.ClientID%>').value].split('$')[0]);
}

This changes the 444 to 555. Also puts the pipe characters back after the array join.

var strValues ='6|8|444|2|9|4|2|1|6|77|998|111';
var arrValues = strValues.split('|');
arrValues[2] = 555;
var strOut = arrValues.join();
strOut = strOut.replace(/,/g,"|");
