split text( 'a' text, 'b' max length, 'c' name of result list, ['d' split char; default: blank] )
|
Group |
Splits the text in parameter a into substrings. From the left, the longest possible (maximum length b) substring that contains a blank (or the alternative separator in parameter d) as the last character is searched for. If such a substring cannot be formed, a substring of the maximum length b is formed from the left.
The created substring is added to list c. The procedure is repeated for the remaining text until it is empty.
The return value of the function is the number of substrings added to the list.
