$string.split

This function splits the input string into multiple substrings. It searches the input string for the separator specified in the function, and when a separator is found, the preceding substring is identified. All substrings are returned as an array of strings.

Syntax

$string.split(<inStr>, <separator>)

inStr	The input string
separator	The separator (one or more characters) that determines how to split the input string into substrings. The separators are not included in the returned result.
