Hi Experts

Im Wondering How do I Convert Long List in My Script to Small One?, I have a list of numbers Look like :

 

MyList = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", etc to----> ,"1000"]

 

So it is so long in the script , So how i can make it appear divided in Multiple Lines? My Question is How to make the multiple return automatically (it will create multiple lines of the list) ?

Thanks in Advance

Best

Maybe you could try the wrap feature of editors and define the no. of characters after which the code line has to be wrapped to the next line. You could use soft wrap if just the appearance of the line is what you need, but you don't want to insert an actual newline character. See the following

If it's about splitting the array definition across multiple lines then you can try the following

var MyList = [1,
2,3, 
4, 
5]
alert(MyList)

      I don't really understand but, ... a for loop?

      var makeArr = function() {

      var a = new Array(1000);  

      for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {

           a[i] = i + 1 + "";

      }

      return a;

      }

      var MyList = makeArr();

       

      Otherwise, you can put as many return marks as you want in the code:

      a =["1","2","3",

      "4","5","6",

      "7","8","9",

      //Etc

      ];

        a =["1","2","3",
"4","5","6",
"7","8","9",
//Etc
