function Split(str, delim, maxNb)
-- Eliminate bad cases...
if string.find(str, delim) == nil then
return { str }
end
if maxNb == nil or maxNb < 1 then
maxNb = 0 -- No limit
end
local result = {}
local pat = "(.-)" .. delim .. "()"
local nb = 0
local lastPos
for part, pos in string.gfind(str, pat) do
nb = nb + 1
result[nb] = part
lastPos = pos
if nb == maxNb then
break
end
end
-- Handle the last field
if nb ~= maxNb then
result[nb + 1] = string.sub(str, lastPos)
end
return result
end
I got it from this website, feel free to check it out as there are different use cases for different types of split functions.
@RamJoT There are no exact split functions in Lua, it has to be manually made.
Whoops! I’ve been so outdated in the string library that I didn’t even notice that until now. Was this an addition within the past year? Don’t believe I remember seeing it when I first began looking into an admin system.
