Example 3:
"1:2:3" splitString ":"; // ["1","2","3"]
Example 4:
"Japa is the best!" splitString "" joinString " "; // "J a p a i s t h e b e s t !"
Example 5:
_cmd = currentMagazineDetail player; //"9mm 16Rnd Mag(13/16)[id/cr:10000011/0]" _cmd splitString "([ ]/:)"; //["9mm","16Rnd","Mag","13","16","id","cr","10000011","0"]

This command is unreliable/broken when it comes to some non-ASCII characters (as of Arma 3 1.58): "Mörser" splitString "" -> ["M"," "," ","r","s","e","r"] "Mörser" splitString "ö" -> ["M","rser"] "Mörser" splitString "ä" -> ["M"," rser"]

This commands works only with ASCII chars, any chars with codes > 127, also used in different languages, will be converted to [" ", " "]. Use toArray to preserve special characters: _spaced = toArray "Mörser" apply {toString [_x]} joinString " "; // M ö r s e r

When working with string which contain linebreaks... "stringWith" + endl + "Linebreak" splitString ",; "; //Result ["someStringWith Linebreak"] ...one can remove those by adding endl as delimiter "stringWith" + endl + "Linebreak" splitString ",; " + endl //Result ["someStringWith","Linebreak"]
