First create an array of dirt that you want to remove from the string. Then replace each dirt with an empty string. Use `String.split(/[\W_]+/)` to convert the string to an array with the use of regex.
Use `String.split(/[\W_]+/)` to convert the string to an array with the use of regex.
```js
const stringToArrayOfWords = str => {
[".", ",", "?", "!", "& ", "(", ")", "[", "]"].map(d => str = str.split(d).join(""));
return str.split(/[\W_]+/);
}
const stringToArrayOfWords = (str, pattern = /[\W_]+/) => str.split(pattern).filter(Boolean)
// stringToArrayOfWords("I love javaScript!!") -> ["I", "love", "javaScript"]
// stringToArrayOfWords("python, javaScript & coffee") -> ["python", "javaScript", "coffee"]
