Method RegEx():split()

Splits a string using the pattern as delimiter.

:split( <cSubject>, [<nLimit>], [<lKeepEmpty>] ) --> aFragments

The subject string to split.

The maximum number of fragments to return. This defaults to 10000.

Specifies whether empty fragments are included in the result. Defaults to .T. (true) which means empty fragments are returned in the result.

An array with the string fragments.

Divides the subject string into fragments using matches of the pattern as separators. Similar to tokenizing but with regular expression patterns instead of simple delimiters.

oRegEx := RegEx():create("[,;]+")  // Split by comma or semicolon 
aFields := oRegEx:split("apple,banana;;cherry") 
? aFields  // {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
