Couldn't split this string with regex properly

I got this

'','','{12345678},{87654321}','lk12l1k2l12lkl12lkl121l2lk12'

trying to match it using '(.*?)',|'(.*?)'

It successfully got my 4 chunks

''
''
'{12345678},{87654321}'
'lk12l1k2l12lkl12lkl121l2lk12'

But I am trying to use the same regex in split... it doesn't like it. :(

var str = "'','','{12345678},{87654321}','lk12l1k2l12lkl12lkl121l2lk12'";
str.split(/'(.*?)',|'(.*?)'/);

Any idea...? ugh.

Why are you using split?

You can get your four chunks with match:

var chunks = str.match(/'[^']*'/g);

Is the split() neccessary?

You could always get the information between the quotes using match().

test.match(/'(.*?)'/g)

Test it please.
