Thanks for doing this! I replied earlier without having read this thread. Sorry for being a serial processor :) > * [Vanilla `string-split' expanded to support the CHAR_PRED > semantics of `string-index' et al.] Makes sense to me. > * New function `string-explode' similar to `string-split' but returns > the deliminators in it's result. "delimiters" :) Also, "Explode" has a meaning in the PHP world like our "split", but oh well. I would be OK with this. > * Regex module replaces both of these with regexp-enhanced versions. Sure. I like Eli's suggestion of having the delimiters be the full set of matching groups, as a list, but perhaps this could be controlled by a keyword argument. MHO at least :) Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
