Split string with backslash

Question

I need to split a string with a backslash.

I M \ SPLITTING

My expected result :

[ "I M ", " SPLITTING" ]

I have tryied the following :

console.log(("I M \ SPLITING").split("\"));

console.log(("I M \ SPLITING").split("\\"));

Works fine with slash :

console.log(("I M / SPLITING").split("/"));

Answer 1

Actually, your string does not contain backslash, interpreter thinks its a single escape character. Try this solution

console.log(("I M \\ SPLITING").split("\\"));
