I'm looking for a way in which I can split a string upon matching a certain criteria; I also require the string to split after the argument, as opposed to before it.
For example, let's say I have a string, "Auxiliary", and I want this string to split upon finding the first vowel -- additionally, if the following the word is also a vowel, then it must not split until it has reached the last vowel in the sequence.
So, in this case "Auxiliary" would become ["Au" "xiliary"]
As another example, "Doorknob" would become ["Doo" "rknob"]
Lastly: "Green" would become ["Gree" "n"]
Currently, if I were to do this: "Auxiliary".split("u"), then the result would be ["A", "uxiliary"] -- I need a way to make the split method split after the match, as opposed to before, so it displays like: ["Au", "xiliary"]
Similarly, I need a way to match the pattern I described above. I'm aware I could do something such as "Auxiliary".split(/[aeiouAEIOU]/), but this would only split the first time it finds a vowel.
I'm aware I seriously need to improve my knowledge of regex - ha.
If my explanation is not clear enough, then please let me know.
All help is super appreciated. +1 for clear explanations and elegant answers!
Thank you.
