- string-splitprocedure
Returns a list of the words contained in the substring of string from start (inclusive) to end (exclusive). delimiter specifies a string that is to be used as the word separator. This will often be a single character, but multiple characters are allowed for cases like splitting on "\r\n". The returned list will then have one more item than the number of non-overlapping occurrences of the delimiter in the string. If delimiter is an empty string, then the returned list contains a list of strings, each of which contains a single character.
Grammar is a symbol with the same meaning as in the string-join procedure. If it is infix, which is the default, processing is done as described above, except that an empty s produces the empty list; if it is strict-infix, an empty s signals an error. The values prefix and suffix cause a leading/trailing empty string in the result to be suppressed.
If limit is a non-negative exact integer, at most that many splits occur, and the remainder of string is returned as the final element of the list (thus, the result will have at most limit + 1 elements). If limit is not specified or is #f, then as many splits as possible are made. It is an error if limit is any other value.
Use SRFI 115's regexp-split (irregex-split from the irregex module) to split on a regular expression rather than a simple string.
