Class String.SplitIterator (< StringType >)

Description

An iterator that iterates over substrings of a string, separated by a character or several different characters.

Note

Typically you don't need to explicitly use the SplitIterator. Expressions like the following are automatically optimized into using a SplitIterator.

foreach(str/"\n", string line)
      write("%s\n", line);
