How to Split string with multiple rules in javascript

Question

I have this string for example:

str = \"my name is john#doe oh.yeh\";

the end result I am seeking is this Array:

strArr = [\'my         


        

Answer 1

I would think a combination of split() and replace() is what you are looking for:

str = "my name is john#doe oh.yeh";

strArr = str.replace('\W',' &');

strArr = strArr.split(' '); 

That should be close to what you asked for.
