Split string into js array

Question

I have a string

'${user name} ${action} ${what} some_text'

Is there any normal way to split this string into an array using split?

Expected:

 ['${user name}', '${action}', '${what}', 'some_text']

A solution without regulars is highly desirable, if that is possible.

Using regular expression

 var str = '${user name} ${action} ${what} some_text'; var re = /(\$\{.*?\}|\w+)/g; var found = str.match(re); console.log(found);

Result

  ["${user name}", "${action}", "${what}", "some_text"]

Such a question, and if the line is with an exclamation mark, which will stand in the butt, and it should also be placed in a separate cell of the array for example: "Hello ${user name}!"
