Tokenizes a string according to a pattern.
fn:tokenize(string $string, string $pattern) => string*
fn:tokenize(string $string, string $pattern, string $flags) => string*
This function breaks the input $string into a sequence of strings, treating any substring that matches
$pattern as a separator. The separators themselves are not returned.
The $flag argument is interpreted in the same way as for the fn:matches() function.
| $string |
a string to be tokenized |
|---|---|
| $pattern |
a separator pattern |
| $flags |
modifiers for patternmatching |
