How to capture an arbitrary number of groups in JavaScript Regexp?

Question

I would expect this line of JavaScript:

\"foo bar baz\".match(/^(\\s*\\w+)+$/)

to return something like:

[\"foo bar baz\",          


        

Answer 1

Unless you have a more complicated requirement for how you're splitting your strings, you can split them, and then return the initial string with them:

var data = "foo bar baz";
var pieces = data.split(' ');
pieces.unshift(data);
