ParseString()

Divides a string into pieces separated by the specified delimiters.

pieces = ParseString(string s, string delimiters [, array options])

Argument	Contents
s	The string that is split
delimiters	A string containing all the delimiter characters

Option	Type	Contents
Include Empty	Boolean	If "True" each delimiter in s is treated as a separator; if "False" (default) multiple separators in a row in s are treated as one separator

An array of the delimited strings, or null if either s or delimiters is null.

If s contains none of the characters in delimiters, then the return value is an array of one string.
Each character in delimiters is always considered a delimiter character, so you cannot split strings using a multi-character separator.
ParseString() does not include any of the delimiter characters in the strings that make up the returned array.
If you set the Include Empty option to "True" the return array will include null entries if there are adjacent delimiters or delimiters at the beginning or the end of the string, and the number of array elements always matches the number of delimiters plus one.

subs = ParseString("Aaron LaClair Brandon", " ")

// returns {"Aaron", "LaClair", "Brandon"}

subs = ParseString("The quick brown fox jumped", "u b")

// returns {"The", "q", "ick", "rown", "fox", "j", "mped"}

subs = ParseString("b12b34bbb56","b")

// returns {"12", "34", "56"}

opts = {}

opts.[Include Empty] = "True"

subs = ParseString("b12b34bbb56","b", opts)

// returns {null, "12", "34", null, null, "56"}
