This function splits a string into sub-strings. You specify a character that will act as a separating character; this will determine where to split the sub-strings. For example, it can split the string "Hello World" into two strings containing the two words, by spliting using a space as a seperating character.

Note: You can use the function gettok to retrieve a single token from the string at a specific index. This may be faster for one-off lookups, but considerably slower if you are going to check each token in a long string.

Syntax

table split ( string stringToSplit, int separatingChar )

Required Arguments

  • stringToSplit The string you wish to split into parts.
  • separatingChar The character you want to use to split (ASCII number)

Returns

Returns a table of the sub-strings.

Example

This examples takes any console text input and splits it into parts. 

function onConsole ( text )
    -- Grab the table of tokens
    splittext = split ( text, 32 )
    -- for each token there...
    for splitKey, splitVal in ipairs(splittext) do
        -- output the index and token
        outputChatBox ( splitKey .. ": " .. splitVal )
    end
end
addEventHandler ( "onConsole", getRootElement ( ), onConsole )
