Description

The SplitString term returns a list of strings. The returned list will contain each substring of the original string that is terminated by a given delimiter string or by the end of the string. The substrings in the resulting list will be in the order in which they occur in the original string. If the delimiter does not occur in any part of the original string, then the resulting list will have just one element, namely the original string. If the delimiter is the empty string, the original string will be split into single characters. The search for delimiters in the string will be case sensitive.
