Regex as third argument of split?

[Cornelius19]

Hello,

The following line works fine in my script:

split(t, words, " ");

It splits/divides the string ‘t’ (actually a text) into words and puts them into a table called ‘words’. I would like to change the separator from space to (space AND question mark AND exclamation mark). I guess the best is to use a regex and tried the following:

split(t, words, [ !?]);

However, I received an error message saying that “0 is invalid as number of arguments for split”. Any idea to fix this issue?

Thanks,

Cornelius

And this ?
split(t, words, /[ !?]/)

Hope This Helps, PH.
