string::splitn Split String into Substrings

string::splitN(string[, separator, nbmatch])
splitN(string[, separator, nbmatch])
split(string[, separator, nbmatch])

The splitN function splits a string using a specified separator (default is ",") and returns an array of substrings or nil.

nbmatch > 0 — At most n substrings; the last substring will contain the unsplit remainder.
nbmatch == 0 — Returns nil (zero substrings).
nbmatch < 0 — Returns all possible substrings (no limit).

res={{
    splitN("a,b,c,d,e,f", ",");
    splitN("a,b,c,d,e,f", ",", nbmatch:3);
}}.

Returns:

res=["a","b","c","d","e","f"]["a","b","c,d,e,f"]
