Regex, excluding parts of expression in split

Question

I have the following regex expression: [\S](?!\s)[\W][\S],
It will match patterns like: z.A,
I want to split strings like so:
"The brown fox.Jumped over the..."=> ["The brown fox.","Jumped over the..."] - That is why I am using that regex, but my problem is how can I exclude the [\S] (in my example: "J" (-from jumped)) yet know it is there for the regex to be valid?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you might be looking for a lookahead:

Lookahead vs lookbehind
