stringToVector
|
The stringToVector function separates a String {string} into several
substrings using the key {key} as the separator. The key is not included
in the result substring. All of the result substrings are collected to form a
Vector and the Vector is returned. The stringToVector has an optional third
argument {true}, which, if present, will treat the {key} argument as
a collection of keys rather than a single key or pattern. In other words if
{true} is present, any character in the {key} will cause a substring
break. The stringToVector has an optional fourth argument {true},
which, if present along with the optional third argument, will treat the
{key} argument as a field delimiter such as in a tab delimited record string.
Usage The stringToVector function's ability to separate a String into several
substrings makes the function ideally suitable for tokenizing a String. Afterwards,
each substring in the Object Vector, can be processed as tokens.
