Is there a simple one liner I can use to select the nth element from a comma separated list in jQuery?

For example if I have: var eg = "a,b,c,d";

How can I select element c?

ha! I just noticed the OP tagged it as jQuery. Opps. Bring on the downvotes.
jQuery version, for fun: jQuery.split = function(s, d){return s.split(d)} then $.split("a,b,c,d", ",")[2]
@Kyle—cool! More code to just call the function than write the expression!
