split

Splits a string into substrings.

split(x:string, pattern:string, [max:int], [reverse:bool]) -> list

Description

The split function splits the input string x into a list of substrings using the specified pattern. Optional arguments allow limiting the number of splits (max) and reversing the splitting direction (reverse).

x: string

The string to split.

pattern: string

The delimiter or pattern used for splitting.

max: int (optional)

The maximum number of splits to perform.

Defaults to 0, meaning no limit.

reverse: bool (optional)

If true, splits from the end of the string.

Defaults to false.

Examples

Split a string by a delimiter

from {xs: split("a,b,c", ",")}

{xs: ["a", "b", "c"]}

Limit the number of splits

from {xs: split("a-b-c", "-", max=1)}

{xs: ["a", "b-c"]}
