03:17:53 <wuehlmaus> how do i use ``split-on-string'' ? say i want the first element of that splitted string ...?
03:28:27 --- quit: mnemnion (Remote host closed the connection)
07:00:11 <crc> 'Hello_New_World 'New s:split-on-string
07:01:01 <crc> after the `s:split-on-string`, the top stack item will be the string "Hello " and the second one "New World"
07:34:55 <wuehlmaus> ah, i see only 2 halfs are possible ,not more?
07:38:35 <wuehlmaus> 'Hello:ave ': s:split-on-string
07:38:50 <wuehlmaus> drop
07:39:07 <wuehlmaus> now it should have ave but it has :ave
07:40:07 <crc> You'd need to use it repeatedly on the second half. It's not (yet) a tokenizer.
07:40:16 <wuehlmaus> ah, i see.
07:40:23 <crc> It splits the string, but doesn't consume the splitting point
07:41:30 <wuehlmaus> thanks for always answering evry question i ever had. I wish more people here would do that other than the 'main guy' :)
07:42:26 <crc> no problem
07:44:10 <crc> (I'm working on string tokenizing, which would give a set/array, but haven't decided on the best approach for this yet). See examples/TokenizeString.forth for a character based tokenizer; working on substrings is a little more difficult.
07:59:36 <crc> You could try:
07:59:44 <crc> {{
07:59:45 <crc>   'Tokens d:create #1000 allot
07:59:45 <crc>   'Needle var
07:59:45 <crc> ---reveal---
07:59:45 <crc>   :s:tokenize-on-string (ss-a)
07:59:45 <crc>     s:keep !Needle &Tokens buffer:set
07:59:45 <crc>     [ repeat dup @Needle s:contains-string? 0; drop @Needle s:split-on-string s:keep buffer:add n:inc again  ] call
07:59:46 <crc>     s:keep buffer:add here &Tokens buffer:size dup , [ fetch-next ,  ] times drop ;
07:59:46 <crc> }}
07:59:47 <crc> 'a:b:cd:e:f: ': s:tokenize-on-string [ s:to-upper puts sp ] set:for-each
08:00:49 <crc> (This should work, as long as the source strng doesn't have more than 999 parts)
08:26:10 <wuehlmaus> haha, that won't be the case too soon :)

10:22:24 <wuehlmaus> what is {{ ?
10:22:33 <wuehlmaus> and }}
10:30:15 <crc> Along with ---reveal---, they allow hiding definitions that are used to define one or more  larger words
10:31:40 <crc> names after {{ and before ---reveal--- are hidden after }} is executed
10:33:29 <crc> So in the code I pasted above, Tokens and Needle will be hidden from the dictionary while s:tokenize-on-string will remain visible

12:08:29 <wuehlmaus> thank you! i think, i need some more experience to get it.
