stringToVector   Description Syntax Examples Argument Types How do I contact the AIS team?

The stringToVector function separates a String {string} into several substrings using the key {key} as the separator. The key is not included in the result substring. All of the result substrings are collected to form a Vector and the Vector is returned. The stringToVector has an optional third argument {true}, which, if present, will treat the {key} argument as a collection of keys rather than a single key or pattern. In other words if {true} is present, any character in the {key} will cause a substring break. The stringToVector has an optional fourth argument {true}, which, if present along with the optional third argument, will treat the {key} argument as a field delimiter such as in a tab delimited record string.

(stringToBVector string key) (stringToBVector string key true) (stringToBVector string key true true) (stringToBVector text key ) (stringToBVector text key true) (stringToBVector text key true true)

Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.

Example_String_stringToVector_001

This example separates the String into tokens using the {key} whitespace character as the break point of the String. But the {key} will not be included in the resulting substrings.

This example separates the String into tokens using the {key} Character as the break point of the String. But the {key} will not be included in the resulting substrings.

This example uses the optional 3rd Boolean argument to treat the {key} Character as a collection of Characters that will cause a substring break in the original String.

This example uses the optional 3rd and 4th Boolean argument to treat the {key} character as a field delimeter.

Here are the links to the data types of the function arguments.

Here are also a number of links to functions having arguments with any of these data types.
