Hi sry,

Use this code its working tried in Background Script.

var regex =/"(.*?)"/g

var str = '"text1","text2","","","","text3","text4","text5"';

var finalResults = str.match(regex).map(function makeFinalArr(item){
      return gs.print(item.replace(/\"/g, ""));
});

//finalResults; // ["text1", "text2","","", "text3", "text4,text5"]

hope this helps!
