Javascript Split string on UpperCase Characters

javascript

Solution

I would do this with `.match()` like this:

'ThisIsTheStringToSplit'.match(/[A-Z][a-z]+/g);

it will make an array like this:

['This', 'Is', 'The', 'String', 'To', 'Split']

edit: since the `string.split()` method also supports regex it can be achieved like this

'ThisIsTheStringToSplit'.split(/(?=[A-Z])/); // positive lookahead to keep the capital letters

that will also solve the problem from the comment:

"thisIsATrickyOne".split(/(?=[A-Z])/);

Problem

How do you split a string into an array in JavaScript by Uppercase character? So I wish to split: ``` 'ThisIsTheStringToSplit' ``` into ``` ['This', 'Is', 'The', 'String', 'To', 'Split'] ```
