How to split strings into tokens in Erlang?

Anonymous User238714-Mar-2016

I am new in Erlang programming, so I want to know how can I split strings using Erlang Code.

This is my String: MyString = "I Love Erlang Programming";

I want to split above string into a list of tokens.

Please help me, and give me an example if possible.

Thank you.

You can split string according to space existance, like this:

> MyTokens = string:tokens("I Love Erlang Programming", " ").

This will return a List of tokens like this:

["I","Love","Erlang","Programming"]

OR we can use any character to split string instead of space.

Example: > MyTokens = string:tokens("I.Love.Erlang.Programming", ".").

Result of above example will be same as the previous example.

I hope it is sufficient to understand.
