Split a string of HTML into an array by particular tags

Question

Given this HTML as a string \"html\", how can I split it into an array where each header marks the start of an element?

Begin with this:

Answer 1

In your example you can use:

/
      // Match literal <
  .*?  // Match any character zero or more times, non greedy
  <\/h // Match literal     // Match literal >
/g

var str = '
A
B
Foobar
C
'
str.match(/.*?<\/h\1>/g); // ["
A
", "
B
", "
C
"]

But please don't parse HTML with regexp, read RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-contained tags
