StringField to support string delimeter

[Mistrel]

Currently StringField only splits based on the first character of the delimiter. It would be even more useful if it would split based on whole strings.

+1 for me also ... but ... there is an easy workaround.
Suppose you wanted the string delimiter to be the three characters " - ", then code like this will do the trick:

Code: Select all

Define string$ = "Cat - sat - on - mat"
Define temp$, i
temp$ = ReplaceString(string$, " - ", Chr(1), 1)
For i = 1 To CountString(temp$, Chr(1))+1
  Debug StringField(temp$, i, Chr(1))
Next i
End

But with the advent of regular expressions built into PB, it kinda becomes a moot point... though of course it would be a heck of a lot faster than regex look behinds and look aheads.
