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 name 'getok' is an alias for this function, both functions are exactly the same. Split is recommended as it is easier to understand.
