[Gambas-user] Split Function ???

[Tony Morehen]

Bruce, your recommended approach of Split(Replace ("Test - test2 - test3 
test4", " - ","|"), "|") is the correct approach.  You just have to be 
careful that the substitute split character will not be found in the 
text to split.  I'd recommend using:

Split(Replace ("Test - test2 - test3 test4", " - ",Asc(31), Asc(31)).  
You could use almost any low ascii character in place of Asc(31) but I 
think using "unit separator" is appropriate.
