Split string on the first white space occurrence

Question

I didn\'t get an optimized regex that split me a String basing into the first white space occurrence:

var str=\"72 tocirah sneab\";

I need

Answer 1

Late to the game, I know but there seems to be a very simple way to do this:

const str = "72 tocirah sneab";
const arr = str.split(/ (.*)/);
console.log(arr);

This will leave arr[0] with "72" and arr[1] with "tocirah sneab". Note that arr[2] will be empty, but you can just ignore it.
