Really handy. Can I recommend '[^]{1,' + size + '}' so that newlines are included in the chunks? You could have that as an argument on
splitString` even. Like:
function splitString (string, size, multiline) {
var matchAllToken = (multiline == true) ? '[^]' : '.';
var re = new RegExp(matchAllToken + '{1,' + size + '}', 'g');
return string.match(re);
}
Worked like magic.
Thanks
