Split

[Karoffe]

I know how to use the split function, but I really need to understand how can it be done manually,

so lets imagine that this function doesn't even exist how can I create my own one which can work like split function ?

Well, I am not asking for the code, am asking for the "way" of doing it.

You go through the String until u find the char that splits, and cut from beginning to that position I guess.

Save that, and continue until end of String.

This can help you understanding:

function string.explode(self, separator) 
    Check("string.explode", "string", self, "ensemble", "string", separator, "separator") 
  
    if (#self == 0) then return {} end 
    if (#separator == 0) then return { self } end 
  
    return loadstring("return {\""..self:gsub(separator, "\",\"").."\"}")() 
end
