// If you are interested in just the first part, then use
var a = fulltext.match(/^.{47}\w*/)

// If you want to split the entire string to multiple substrings, then use

var a = fulltext.match(/.{47}\w*|.*/g);

// ...and if you wish substrings do not start with the word separator (such as space or comma) and prefer to include it with the previous match, then use
var a = fulltext.match(/.{47}\w*\W*|.*/g);
