SPLIT

SPLIT splits a text according to the format into several parts (numeric or string) and assigns these parts to one or more variables. The execution of SPLIT is halted, when the first non-matching part is encountered. SPLIT returns the number of successfully read values as integer.

Syntax

SPLIT (string, format, variable1 [, variable2, ..., variablen])

Parameter

string (string): the string which should be split.

format: any combination of constant strings, %s and %n -s. Parts in the string must fit the constant strings, %s identifies any string value, which is delimited by spaces or tabs, while %n identifies any numeric value.

variablei (string or decimal, depends on format): the names of the variable, into which the split strings are stored.

Remarks

Decimal numbers must be separated by ".", otherwise only the places before the decimal point are considered.
