JavaScript split String with white space

Question

I would like to split a String but I would like to keep white space like:

var str = \"my car is red\";

var stringArray [];

stringArray [0] = \"my\";
string         


        

Answer 1

Using regex:

var str   = "my car is red";
var stringArray = str.split(/(\s+)/);

console.log(stringArray); // ["my", " ", "car", " ", "is", " ", "red"] 

\s matches any character that is a whitespace, adding the plus makes it greedy, matching a group starting with characters and ending with whitespace, and the next group starts when there is a character after the whitespace etc.
