The task is to split address on parts by point or space.

For example: “c.Town” should be split to “c.” and “Town”

And “c Town” to “c” and “Town”

I use the following regex:

address.split("(?=[ .])")

It splits address “c.Town” on 2 parts: “c” and “.Town”.

So the point is attached to the second element (“.Town”). But I expected point to be attached to first element (“c.”).

As a result, instead of “c.”, “Town”, I receive “c”, “.Town”.

What am I doing wrong?
