[jQuery] Split Form field into array

[robert...@gmail.com]

I really hope someone can assist:

I am trying to take a form field:
<textarea name="PartNum" cols="15" rows="5"  id="PartNum" value=""></
textarea>

The user will put in part numbers , space, qty, carraige return ,then
another entry on the next line....it will look like this:

bd1111 2
bd1200 5


I want to split this into two querystring variables before submitting
to next page:

mypage.asp?Partnum=bd1111,bd1200&Qty=2,5

I have looked at the serialize() and array functions , but I can't
figure it out.

thanks very much
