Split

[Ken Ray]

<pd> is "primary delimiter" (and <sd> is "secondary delimiter").

Here's a simple example where you can take a list of people's names and put
them into a numerically indexed array:

put "Ken,Simon,Richard,Harry" into tPeople
split tPeople using ","
-- tPeople is now an array that holds 4 elements
put tPeople[1]  -- puts "Ken"
put tPeople[2]  -- puts "Simon"
put tPeople[3]  -- puts "Richard"
put tPeople[4]  -- puts "Harry"

HTH,
