===== 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 ====
# 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
print "n["+t+"]=" + n[t]
next t
will display
