variable = explode ( string_expression , delimiter_expression )
variable = explode ( string_expression , delimiter_expression , boolean_expression )

returns a list of strings. Typically this function is used to create an array.

Splits up the string_expression into substrings wherever the delimiter_expression occurs.

You may also specify an optional Boolean value to specify that the search will treat upper and lower case letters the same.

# 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
