I want to take this array containing one item (a STRING with a bunch of ma delimited items)

["Bucknell Venture Plan Competition, Mitch Blumenfeld, DreamIt Ventures, Deep Fork Capital, John Ason, Mitchell Blumenfeld, Gianni Martire"]

I want to turn it into this. An array containing each name as a seperate array item.

["Bucknell Venture Plan Competition", "Mitch Blumenfeld", "DreamIt Ventures", "Deep Fork Capital", "John Ason", "Mitchell Blumenfeld", "Gianni Martire"]

Thanks!

UPDATE:

Thanks for the help. That worked!

Simple as:

var myArr = ["Bucknell Venture Plan Competition, Mitch Blumenfeld, DreamIt Ventures, Deep Fork Capital, John Ason, Mitchell Blumenfeld, Gianni Martire"];
var myNewArr = myArr[0].split(",");

I think this should work:

var items = ["Bucknell Venture Plan Competition, Mitch Blumenfeld, DreamIt Ventures, Deep Fork Capital, John Ason, Mitchell Blumenfeld, Gianni Martire"];
var array = items[0].split(",");
