title: How do I separate a comma delimited variable into multiple variables?
body: <p>This is probably very elementary, but I'm still learning.<br>
  I've imported a record from an XML file and have the result :<br>
  <strong>"a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h"</strong></p>
  
  <p>I would like to end up with 8 separate variables, one for each comma delimited value.<br>
  What is the shortest way to code this using <strong>javascript</strong>?</p>
