</blockquote><div>Maybe I'm just being a bit of an idealist here, but if there is an operation, string:join, I'd really, really, like its inverse operation also to be in the string module, namely, string:split. It's the symmetry. Especially since there's no earthly reason I can see that string:split should be (or have been) omitted.<br>
<br>I suppose they could rid of string:join and we could all use scutil:explode (and I presume its inverse, scutil:implode?). But then that's another module/application I need which is not part of the standard release.<br>
