split a string to array containing pairs of two [duplicate]

Question

I have a string like this: 56f7gg5cx887r7gt8r6t7.

Besides splitting it into an array of one and then looping by two i+2 and creating another array with entries containing two by two.

Is there a simpler way?

The result should be like this: ['56','f7','gg','5c','x8','87','r7','gt','8r','6t','7'].

Answer 1

You can use match:

'56f7gg5cx887r7gt8r6t7'.match(/(..?)/g)
