===== Explodex =====
==== Format ====
stringarrayvariable$ = **explodex** ( //string// , //regex// )\\
arrayvariable$ = **explodex** ( //string// , //regex// )
==== Description ====
Splits up //string// into substrings wherever the regular expression //regex// 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]”.
==== Example ====
# explode on regex //[,]* //
a$ = "We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow, submarine."
w$ = explodex(a$,"[,]* ")
for t = 0 to w$[?]-1
print "w$["+t+"]=" + w$[t]
next t
# explode on regex //[Aa][Nn][Dd]//
a$="1 and 2 AND 3 and 5 aND 99 AND 8.88 aNd 6.45"
n = explodex(a$,"[Aa][Nn][Dd]")
for t = 0 to n[?]-1
print "n["+t+"]=" + n[t]
next t
will display
