node.js - using regex in nodejs filtering multiple delimiters -

i have multiple emails in string multiple delimiters ,;:/|\"".

im trying slip , add in array.

im there small issue coming know wrong in regex.

node js code:

var x = "mmmm lll\"kkkk\jjj/iiii,hhhh:gggg+ffff-eee+dddd;cccc|bbbb:aaaa";      var separators = [' ', '\\\+', '-',  ';', '"',  '\\|','//', '\\|',  '\\\(', '\\\)', '\\*', '/', ':', '\\\?'];     console.log(separators.join('|'));     var tokens = x.split(new regexp(separators.join('|'), 'g'));     console.log(tokens); 

here output:

|\+|-|;|"|\||//|\||\(|\)|\*|/|:|\? [ 'mmmm@gmail.com',   'lll@gmail.com', 

'kkkk@gmail.comjjj@gmail.com', 'iiii@gmail.com,hhhh@gmail.com',

'gggg@gmail.com',   'ffff@gmail.com',   'eee@gmail.com',   'dddd@gmail.com',   'cccc@gmail.com',   'bbbb@gmail.com',   'aaaa@gmail.com' ] 

[1] can add , list of separators.

[2] when declaring string x, assumes has escapes comes after \, if display x see without \ delimiter. change delimiter \\.

[3] add delimiter \ also.

new updated code working in nodejs:

var x = "mmmm lll\"kkkk\\jjj/iiii,hhhh:gggg+ffff-eee+dddd;cccc|bbbb:aaaa"; \\                     ^^^ <- note this, otherwise it's trying escape `j` console.log(x) var separators = [' ', '\\\+', '-',  ';', '"',  '\\|','//', '\\|',  '\\\(', '\\\)', '\\*', '/', ':', '\\\?', ',', '\\\\\+'];  console.log(separators.join('|')); var tokens = x.split(new regexp(separators.join('|'), 'g')); console.log(tokens);
