.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
\fBsplit \fIstring \fR?\fIsplitChars\fR?

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