- split string ?splitChars?
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Returns a list created by splitting string at each character
- that is in the splitChars argument. Each element of the
- result list will consist of the characters from string that
- lie between instances of the characters in splitChars.
- Empty list elements will be generated if string contains
- adjacent characters in splitChars, or if the first or last
- character of string is in splitChars. If splitChars is an
- empty string then each character of string becomes a
- separate element of the result list. SplitChars defaults to
- the standard white-space characters. For example,
-
- split "comp.unix.misc" .
-
- returns "comp unix misc" and
-
- split "Hello world" {}
- returns "H e l l o { } w o r l d".
