I'm trying to get all possible matches from a string using regular expression, basically prevent the regex from consuming the characters found in previous match. Example:
'aaaa'.match(/(\w).?\1/g)
would return an array similar to this
result = ['aa', 'aaa', 'aa', 'aaa', 'aa']
where:
result[0] = the first two letters,
result[1] = the first three letter,
result[2] = the second and the third letter, ....
PS: please pardon any misused terms as I'm new to regex.
The match() function used for simplicity, in reality I want to use matchAll() so I can get the match index along with each match.
