How do I split a string with multiple separators in javascript?

Question

How do I split a string with multiple separators in JavaScript? I\'m trying to split on both commas and spaces but, AFAIK, JS\'s split function only supports one separator.

I use regexp:

str =  'Write a program that extracts from a given text all palindromes, e.g. "ABBA", "lamal", "exe".';

var strNew = str.match(/\w+/g);

// Output: ["Write", "a", "program", "that", "extracts", "from", "a", "given", "text", "all", "palindromes", "e", "g", "ABBA", "lamal", "exe"]
