explode

explode(string)
explode(string, separator, [want-blanks])

This function returns a list of the words in string. If the string separator is specified, then it is used as the word separator; otherwise a space (" ") is used. If the optional argument want-blanks is specified and is true, explode() will include zero-length words in the returned list; otherwise, it will not.

Examples:

explode(" foo  bar baz")
     => ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
explode("foo:bar:baz", ":")
     => ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
