Split string and trim every element

Question

Is there any library API or regex pattern to split a String on some delimiter and automatically trim leading and trailing spaces from every element without having to loop the el

Answer 1

Without regex it should look like this:

"  A   B #  C#D# E  #  "
    .split('#')
    .map(function(item) { return item.trim(); } )
    .filter(function(n){ return n != "" });

outputs: ["A B", "C", "D", "E"]
