Golang split strings by char type [duplicate]

Question

I want to be able to split the string into substrings where characters and numbers are separate groups:

re:=regexp.MustCompile("**MAGIC HERE**")
fmt.Println(re.FindAllString("abc123def", -1))

I want to be able to get

[abc 123 def]

Any ideas?

@Wiktor this is not exactly duplicate. Even if I know the other post, I would love to know how to do this in Golang. — WhatABeautifulWorld

Try splitting on this pattern:

\d+|\D+

Code:

re:=regexp.MustCompile("\\d+|\\D+")
fmt.Println(re.FindAllString("abc123def", -1))

Output:

[abc 123 def]
