- split string ?splitChars?
- Returns a list created by splitting string at each
- character that is in the splitChars argument. Each
- element of the result list will consist of the
- characters from string between instances of the
- characters in splitChars. Empty list elements will be
- generated if string contains adjacent characters in
- splitChars, or if the first or last character of string
- is in splitChars. If splitChars is an empty string
- then each character of string becomes a separate
- element of the result list. SplitChars defaults to the
- standard white-space characters. For example,
-
- split "comp.unix.misc" .
-
- returns "comp unix misc" and
-
- split "Hello world" {}
-
- returns "H e l l o { } w o r l d".
