🪓 Use Regex for Flexible Splitting

String#split accepts a regex, enabling you to split on complex delimiters, capture parts of the delimiter, or omit empty fields.

# Split on commas or semicolons
data = 'a,b;c,,d' .split(/[,;]+/)   # => ["a","b","c","d"]

# Keep delimiters in the result
tokens = '1+2-3'.split(/([+-])/)
# => ["1", "+", "2", "-", "3"]

Regex-powered splits handle varied and repeated delimiters effortlessly.
