in reply to How to split a string based on the length of a sequence of characters within the string

To add to AppleFritter’s excellent explanation:

The only reason split is giving you the contents of the separators is that you have capturing parentheses in your regex. From split:

If the PATTERN contains capturing groups, then for each separator, an additional field is produced for each substring captured by a group...

Hope that helps,
