Split the string using DXL with delimiter as ;

Hi All,

I want to split the string using DXL. String variable contains lot of ';' character. I want to split the string using delimiter ;

for example - string s = "this;string;shall;split";

I want to get output in the string array, where array shall store 'this', 'string', 'shall', 'split' string values in it.

I have been searching to split the string using dxl and found the below links

If you look in the dxl help file under regular expressions examples you will find an example that can be tailored to do as you requested.

Skip seems better than array to store the result ... you can try the following code ... 

Skip split ( string s, char c ) {
    Skip split_string = create();
    int deb = 0; int i; int index = 0;
    for ( i=0; i<length(s)-1; i++ ) {
      if ( s[i] != c ) continue;
      put( split_string, index, s[deb:i-1] );
      deb = i+1; index += 1;
    }
    if ( s[i] == c ) i--;
    put( split_string, index, s[deb:i] );
    return(split_string);
}

Skip split ( string s, string sep ) {
    Skip split_string = create();
    Buffer b = create()
    int deb = 0
    int fin = keyword( b, sep, deb )
    int index = 0
    while (fin != -1) {
        put( split_string, index, s[deb:fin+length(sep)] )
        deb = fin+length(sep)+1
        fin = keyword(b, sep, deb)
    }
    delete b
    put( split_string, index + 1, s[deb:] )
    return split_string
}

have fun ;)
