Split
Split(string[, delimiter[, count[, compare]]])
Description
Split returns a one-dimensional array of strings of a specified length, created by dividing a single string where a specified delimiter occurs. The required parameter, string, is a valid string expression; if string is a zero-length string (""), Split returns an empty array. The optional argument, delimiter, is a string expression whose first character is used to separate the substrings; if delimiter is a zero-length string (""), a single-element array containing the entire string is returned. The optional parameter, count, is a numeric expression that specifies the number of substrings to return; if count is not provided -1 is used as a default specifying that all substrings be returned. The optional parameter, compare, is used to specify the type of search performed.
Example (Basic)
Rem Split Example 'Split divides a string into substrings Dim List, Who, All, TopTwo List = "Eric,Kenny,Kyle,Stan" Who = Split(List, ",") Print Who(0), Who(1), Who(2), Who(3) All = "First Second Third Fourth Fifth" TopTwo = Split(All, " ") Print TopTwo(0), TopTwo(1)
Example (JavaScript)
// Split Example
/* Split divides a string into substrings */
var List, Who, All, TopTwo;
List = "Eric,Kenny,Kyle,Stan";
Who = List.split(",");
NSB.Print(Who[0] + " " + Who[1] + " " + Who[2] + " " + Who[3]);
All = "First Second Third Fourth Fifth";
TopTwo = All.split(" ");
NSB.Print(TopTwo[0] + " " + TopTwo[1]);
Output
Eric Kenny Kyle Stan First Second
