Regex help needed

[Jeff North]

I need to split a string at every 2nd occurrence of a delimiter.

The string is:
CLAS|DIST|WKPL|ONLN|FLEX|FLXO|MIXD|OTHR|

and I need the output to be:
CLAS|DIST|<br>
WKPL|ONLN|<br>
FLEX|FLXO|<br>
MIXD|OTHR|

Does anyone know the right regex expression to use?

Many thanks

I need to split a string at every 2nd occurrence of a delimiter.

MIXD|OTHR|

Does anyone know the right regex expression to use?

var x = 'CLAS|DIST|WKPL|ONLN|FLEX|FLXO|MIXD|OTHR|';

alert( x.match( /\w{4}\|(\w{4})?/g ).join('|<br>') + '|' );

The trailing '|' causes a problem, both in the input string and for the
output chunks. It would be better (easier?) if your output was:

CLAS|DIST<br>
WKPL|ONLN<br>
FLEX|FLXO<br>
MIXD|OTHR

Thanks for that. Works perfectly.
One of these days I'll get to learn regex
