Okay reading further it seems there are two forms: "using | with" (synonyms)
and "by column". The documentation is incorrect (or else I misunderstand what
"{by | using | with}" means) where it says:
Syntax:
split variable {by | using | with} primaryDelimiter [and secondaryDelimiter]
split variable {by | using | with} primaryDelimiter as set
split variable {by | using | with} {row | column}
It also seems you CAN create an array where you get named keys, but the text
has to be something like:
put "A apple;;B bottle;;C cradle" into myVariable split myVariable by ";;" and
space
So the first delimiter is the record delimiter, and the second is the key
delimiter. In no case can I figure a way to use split in the manner you want.
But it occurs to me that datagrids do this by nature. If you were to set the
dgText of a data grid, then get the dgData of the same, you would get the exact
effect you seek.
