Split a string to groups of 2 chars using split?

Question

I have this simple string :

\"a1a2a3\"

Is there any regex expression which can be used with split command so it will split the str

Answer 1

I already answered this in chat. You really should be using String.prototype.match.

Can be done with split? Technically, yes. You can split it by /(..)/ and then filter out the blank strings.

"a1a2a3".split(/(..)/).filter(function(a){
    return a !== '';
});
