title: RegExp for the matching of a repeated character
body: <p>I need a regular expression (or any other thing) object that will match a character, and multiple instances of the same character following that, until it reaches a new character.</p>
  
  <p>Ideally, I need a function that would return an array of all the consecutive characters found in the input string. It should return something like this.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; like_characters("Hello?");
  Array ["H", "e", "ll", "o", "?"]
  &gt; like_characters("1234442332111???");
  Array ["1", "2", "3", "444", "2", "33", "2", "111", "???"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't <em>have</em> to use a regular expression--any way of "splitting" a string by a character change would work. It preferably would be a low-byte code, as I am working on a group project with a limited amount of space.</p>
  
  <h1>Attempts</h1>
  
  <pre><code>str.split(/\d*/)
  str.split(/\d+/)
  /(\d)+\1/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is pretty much all I've got (and frankly, I'm surprised I even got this far--the realm of the regular expression is so murky).</p>
