1. split() function (like perl's)
Hi everybody,
what would be the best way to write something similar to perl's split()
function (same basic functionality)?
all I want to do is be able to take a sequence/string and split() it
using a delimiting character (in this case a space).
Something like this:
seq1 = split(' ', "mary had a little lamb")
-- the results would be {"mary", "had", "a", "little", "lamb"}
thanks!

Haven't tested it, but try this:
function split (object x, sequence s)
sequence ret
integer pos, prev
ret = {}
prev = 1
pos = find (x,s)
while pos do
ret = append(ret, s[prev..pos])
prev = pos + 1
pos = find(x, s[prev..length(s)])
end while
return trim(append(ret, s[prev..length(s)]))
end function
-- Not the fastest solution though..
-- It also works for things like: split ({1,2}, { 342, 234, {1,2}, 34 })
