[Gambas-user] Split Function ???

[Bruce Steers]

No you need the Replace() if you wish to split using a string using more
than one single char as the pattern.

" - " is 3 chars, 2 spaces and a - so the Split() command splits at every
space as well as the "-"

Like Benoit said the Split() function only really uses one char. Using
Spit(Str," - ") is like giving a list of " " and "-" to split at.

To split a string at an instance of more than one char you have to first
convert the delimiters in the string into a single char.
So using
Replace(sText, " - ", "-") makes " - " just "-"

Hope that makes sense
