Splitting numbers and letters in string which contains both

rated 0 times [ 115] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 22593 / 12 Years ago, fri, march 16, 2012, 12:00:00

I am trying to split following (or similar) string 08-27-2015 07:25:00AM.
Currently I use

var parts = date.split(/[^0-9a-zA-Z]+/g);

Which results in

[02, 27, 2012, 03, 25, 00AM]

The problem is with the 00AM part. I want it to be separated too. So the perfect result would be:

[02, 27, 2012, 03, 25, 00, AM]

If you're looking for sequences of letters or numbers, but not a sequence both mixed, you can do this...

08-27-2015 07:25:00AM.match(/[a-zA-Z]+|[0-9]+/g)

resulting in...

[08, 27, 2015, 07, 25, 00, AM]

On either side of the |, we have a sequence of one or more letters and a sequence of one or more numbers. So when it comes across a letter, it will gather all contiguous letters until it reaches a non-letter, at which point it gathers all contiguous numbers, and so on.

Any other character simply doesn't match so it doesn't become part of the result.
