Does anyone know what regular expression I would use to split text into
an array, assuming the text can be separated by any non alphanumeric
character?
e.g
$string ="cat,dog fish, mouse -elephant/tiger";
would give
Array
(
[0] =cat
[1] =dog
[2] =fish
[3] =mouse
[4] =elephant
[5] =tiger
)

$array = preg_split('/\W+/',$string,-1,PREG_SPLIT_NO _EMPTY);
\W = non-word character
"A "word" character is any letter or digit or the underscore character,
that is, any character which can be part of a Perl "word". The definition
of letters and digits is controlled by PCRE's character tables, and may
vary if locale-specific matching is taking place. For example, in the "fr"
(French) locale, some character codes greater than 128 are used for
accented letters, and these are matched by \w."

No problem.
BTW, if you also want to split on the underscore:
$array = preg_split('/(\W|_)+/',$string,-1,PREG_SPLIT_NO _EMPTY);

Hi All,
I'm trying to split a string on every character. The string happens to be a
representation of a hex number. So, my regex expression is ().
Seems simple, but for some reason, I'm not getting the results I expect.
Dim SA as string()
Dim S as string
S="FBE"

I can't find what function will do this job.
Here is part of what I have.

If you split a string into an array using the split method, it's not
working the way I'd expect it to. That doesn't mean it's wrong of
course, but would anyone else agree it's working somewhat illogically?
Here's a test I just put together that splits on "&".
The test strings are:
"a&b" = (Correct!) I expect array length 2 and I get 2
"a&" = (Incorrect!) I expect array length 1 but I get 2
"a" = (Correct!) I expect array length 1 and...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
