How do you split a string at certain character numbers in javascript?

Question

I want a string split at every single character and put into an array. The string is:

var string = "hello";

Would you use the .split() ? If so how?

Answer 1

Yes, you could use:

var str = "hello";

// returns ["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"]
var arr = str.split( '' ); 

Answer 2

I was researching a similar problem.. to break on every other character. After reading up on regex, I came up with this:

data = "0102034455dola";
arr = data.match(/../g);

The result is the array: ["01","02","03","44","55","do","la"]
