In Perl, I have:

	my ($title, $chan, $call, $sTime, $dur) = split /~~/, $el;

I've converted this to JavaScript thusly:

	var flds = el.split('~~');	// split into array, then to vars

	var title = flds[0];
	var chan =  flds[1];
	var call =  flds[2];
	var sTime = flds[3];
	var dur =   flds[4];

I was hoping for a more straightforward/cleaner syntax - something like:

	var (title, chan, call, sTime, dur) = el.split('~~'); // do it all in one like Perl

Any way to do that?
