Explode [Like in PHP]

[slaw]

Im not author of this. I found it on google when I tried make talkaction with xx parameters.

functions.lua or global.lua

function explode(div,str)
	if (div=='') then
		return false
	end

	local pos,arr = 0,{}
	-- for each divider found
	for st,sp in function() return string.find(str,div,pos,true) end do
		table.insert(arr,string.sub(str,pos,st-1)) -- Attach chars left of current divider
		pos = sp + 1 -- Jump past current divider
	end
	table.insert(arr,string.sub(str,pos)) -- Attach chars right of last divider
	return arr
end

Usage.

If you want make talkactions like this:
/broadcast Text,delay,color

explodedString = explode(",", string)

Example talkaction:

function onSay(cid, words, param)
	if param ~= "" then
		params = explode(",", param)
		testString = ""
		for _, par in pairs(params) do
			testString = testString..' '..par
		end
		doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You have used params: ".. testString ..".")

Slawk, if I am right, all it does it shows the God/GM, what happened when he used the talkaction, right?

It will show which parameters have he used. Usable in talkactions which have more parameters. And remembers, this is just example, nothing more

I already released a function working pretty much exactly like that one: http://otland.net/showthread.php?t=6761
