javascript regex to match a combination of and/or expression-CodePudding

I want to match a combination of and/or expression and match only sentences in between for example

test1 test2 and test2 or test4 test5

I want to get matches test1 test2, test2, test4 test5

I tried this regex https://regex101.com/r/FFLtg6/1 but it doesn't work :

(. )(((and|or)\s )?)

Update : I need a regex expression because it is part of a bigger regex.

Here's what you're looking for:

const txt = "lorem ipsum and dolor and sit or amet consecteturand elit";

console.log(txt.split(/ and | or /));

I would probably just do the obvious:

const rxWords = /\S /g;
const rxConnectors = /^(and|or)$/i;
const nonConnector = w => ! rxConnectors.test(w) ;

function getInterestingWords( s ) {
  const corpus  = s ?? '' ;
  const matches = corpus.match( rxWords ) ;
  const words   = matches.filter( nonConnector ) ;

  return words;
}

Given that, executing

const text = 'test1 test2 and test2 or test4 test5f' ;
const interestingWords = getInterestingWords(text);

sets interestingWords to the expected

[ 'test1', 'test2', 'test2', 'test4', 'test5' ]
