Does anyone have an example of how to use regexsplit

[Paul Hethmon]

Leonard,

I don't have an exact solution but since that expression gets compiled
into a Java regex object, you might try using one of the online Java regex
sites. This is one I like:

http://www.regexplanet.com/advanced/java/index.html


It just gives an easy way to fine tune the expression quickly.
