StringField to support string delimeter

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.
