javascript - Trying to get a regex to recognize and extract words from both camelCase and CamelCase -

i've got halfway working. works great:

'myownvar'.match(/([a-z]*)([a-z][a-z]+)/g) 

result:

["my", "own", "var"] 

the goal pull out individual words. if pass camelcase name it:

'myownvar'.match(/([a-z]*)([a-z][a-z]+)/g) 

i get:

["myown", "var"] 

i can't figure out i'm doing wrong. far can tell, 2 sets of () should store matching results in 2 separate array elements. it's lumping them in reason.

if have understood question following regex should trick:

/([a-za-z][a-z]+)/g 

in case single character (as "m" in "mownvariable") should considered word:

/([a-za-z][a-z]*)/g
