Php-like explode and replace?

-----------------------------------

I was wondering if there was a command in Turing that would seperate a string into an array at a certain characher

eg.In php


$pizza  = "piece1|piece2|piece3|piece4|piece5|piece6";
$pieces = explode("|", $pizza);
echo $pieces[0]; // piece1
echo $pieces[1]; // piece2


as well is there a way to replace letters/numbers/symbols in a string with another letters/numbers/symbol?

Thanks!

Don't know anything about PHP, but with Turing I'd imagine you'd use a series of index()'s in some nifty functions.
In other words, yes these do exist, but only after you've made them :D.

the functions are not pre-made for you, but index() will tell you where the first instance of a substring occurs. You could loop over that to do both desired actions.
