JavaScript Regular Expression String Split

Question

What I have is a string that I want to split.

I can set delimiters inside the string for example:

+++DELIMITER 1+++

text

+++DELIMITER R+++

text 2

+++NAME OF DELIMITER+++

text n

...

Edits after questions:

The string does not contain linefeed characters, An example of string wourld be:

let string = "+++DELIMITER 1+++ text +++DELIMITER R+++ text 2 +++NAME OF DELIMITER+++ specialchars \"£$%%£$\"<>";

text n";

What i want to obtain is an array constructed like this:

resultarray=[
     ["DELIMITER 1", "text"],
     ["DELIMITER R", "text 2"],
     ["NAME OF DELIMITER", "text n"]
     ...
];

I think I have to use String.split method, but I don't know what kind of regex to use.

Answer 1

You could split the string and reduce single strings to pairs.

 var string = '+++DELIMITER 1+++text+++DELIMITER R+++text 2+++NAME OF DELIMITER+++text n', parts = string .split(/\\+{3}/) .slice(1) .reduce((r, s, i) => r.concat([i % 2 ? r.pop().concat(s) : [s]]), []); console.log(parts);

Answer 2

Here you go (step by step):

 const str = ` +++DELIMITER 1+++ text +++DELIMITER R+++ text 2 +++NAME OF DELIMITER+++ text n ` // first replace the +++ with '' const strr = str.replace(/\\+{3}/g, '') // place them in an array const strArr = strr.split('\\n').filter(r=>r!=='') //push each next two values in separate array const finalArr = [] while(strArr.length) finalArr.push(strArr.splice(0,2)) console.log(finalArr)
