Using javascript regex you could try something like,

var text = "|one|two|three|";
var r = new RegExp("(\\|)?([\\w]*)(?=\\|)","g");
var res=r.exec(text);
while(res&&res[2]){
  console.log(res[2]);
  res=r.exec(text);
}

You don't need regular expression:

> '|one|two|three|'.split('|')
["", "one", "two", "three", ""]
> '|one|two|three|'.split('|').slice(1, -1)
["one", "two", "three"]
