-string_array_variable$ = **explodex** ( //string_expr// , //regex_expr// )
+variable = **explodex** ( [[stringexpressions|string_expression]] , [[regularexpressions|regular_expression]] )
-returns //string_array// that must be assigned to a //string_array_variable$//
+returns a [[lists|list]] of strings that must be assigned to a [[variables|variable]] or used wherever a list may be used.
 ==== Description ====
-Splits up //string_expr// into substrings wherever the regular expression //regex_expr// 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. Unlike ExPLODE, EXPLODEX allows ignoring specific variations (case sentive, spelling etc), see example below ”[Aa][Nn][Dd]”.

+If the regular expression includes capturing groups, using parenthesis, then the array returned will contain the entire string matched by the regular expression in index 0 and each of the captured groups in subsequent elements.
