I'd like to do a Regex.Split on some separators but I'd like to keep the separators. To give an example of what I'm trying:
"abc[s1]def[s2][s3]ghi" --> "abc", "[s1]", "def", "[s2]", "[s3]", "ghi"
The regular expression I've come up with is new Regex("\\[|\\]|\\]\\[")
. However, this gives me the following:
"abc[s1]def[s2][s3]ghi" --> "abc", "s1", "def", "s2", "", "s3", "ghi"
The separators have disappeared (which makes sense given my regex). Is there a way to write the regex so that the separators themselves are preserved?
