How to split a string into a javascript array?

Question

I have a string

"B & D & P && D & P && B & C"

I'd like to split the string into a Javascript array by using the & or && as separators in order to get something like

"B, D, P, D, P, B, C"

I was wondering how I would approach this situation. Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use regex.

const str = "B & D & P && D & P && B & C";

console.log(str.split(/[\s&]+/g));

Answer 2

You can do it easily by using regex. Try the following code

var str = 'B & D & P && D & P && B & C';
matches = str.match(/[^&]+/g);

console.log(matches);
