 +===== Explode =====
 +
 +==== Format ====
 +stringarrayvariable$ = **explode** ( //string// , //delimiter// )\\
 +stringarrayvariable$ = **explode** ( //string// , //delimiter// , //caseinsensitive// )\\
 +arrayvariable$ = **explode** ( //string// , //delimiter// )\\
 +arrayvariable$ = **explode** ( //string// , //delimiter// , //caseinsensitive// )
 +
 +==== Description ====
 +Splits up //string// into substrings wherever the //delimiter// occurs.  Substrings are stored in either the string or numeric array defined in the assignment statement.  The array will be re-dimensioned to the exact size to store all of the substrings.
 +
 +You may also specify an optional boolean value //caseinsensitive// to specify that the search will treat upper and lower case letters the same.
 +
 +
 +==== Example ====
 +<code>
 +# explode on spaces
 +a$ = "We all live in a yellow submarine."
 +print a$
 +w$ = explode(a$," ")
 +for t = 0 to w$[?]-1
 +   print "w$["+t+"]=" + w$[t]
 +next t
 +
 +# explode on A or a
 +a$ = "klj;lkjalkjAlkj;"
 +print a$
 +w$ = explode(a$,"A",true)
 +for t = 0 to w$[?]-1
 +   print "w$["+t+"]=" + w$[t]
 +next t
 +
 +# explode numbers on comma
 +a$="1,2,3,77,foo,9.987,6.45"
 +print a$
 +n = explode(a$,",")
 +for t = 0 to n[?]-1
