  18. Greetings,
  19.  
  20. I've been using this procedure since the 1980's with no
  21. problems. It's my favorite and most used procedure.
  22.  
  23. #
  24. # parse a string into a list with respect to a delimiter
  25. #
  26. procedure parse(line,delims)
  27.   static chars
  28.   chars  := &cset -- delims
  29.   tokens := []
  30.   line ? while tab(upto(chars)) do put(tokens,tab(many(chars)))
  31.   return tokens
  32.   end

  49. Hello -
  50.  
  51. I have been trying out split.icn, a procedure contributed by Hamish Lawson
  52. in 1996, which converts a string into a list using a cset of characters as
  53. delimiter.
  54.  
  55. I have found that it will not work if the French colon ('|') is the
  56. delimiter, although with other characters it will work. I cannot see
  57. anything in the code to explain this. Are there characters that have
  58. special
  59. functions if they are within strings? I tried '\|' instead of '|' but this
  60. did not work.
  61.  
  62. Regards
  63.
