--[[
module for splitting a string to an array
]]--
module (..., package.seeall)
-- This code comes from http://lua-users.org/wiki/SplitJoin
-- Split text into a list consisting of the strings in text,
-- separated by strings matching delimiter (which may be a pattern).
-- example: strsplit(",%s*", "Anna, Bob, Charlie,Dolores")
return function (delimiter, text)
local list = {}
local pos = 1
-- this would result in endless loops
if string.find("", delimiter, 1) then
error("delimiter matches empty string!")
end
while 1 do
local first, last = string.find(text, delimiter, pos)
if first then -- found?
table.insert(list, string.sub(text, pos, first-1))
pos = last+1
else
table.insert(list, string.sub(text, pos))
break
end
end
return list
