<font size=+1><i>LIST</i> <b>explode</b>(<i>STRING <b>str</b>[, STRING <b>sep</b>[, INTEGER <b>want-blanks</b>]]</i>)</font>
<p>This function breaks <var>string</var> into a list of strings, using the
string <var>sep</var> as delimiters. If <var>sep</var> is unspecified
it uses spaces as delimiters. If <var>want-blanks</var> is specified and is
true <code>explode()</code> will include zero-length strings in the final
list, otherwise it will not.
<p>Examples:
<blockquote>
<PRE>
explode(" foo bar baz")
=> ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
explode("foo:bar:baz", ":")
=> ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
</PRE>
