LIST explode(STRING str[, STRING sep[, INTEGER want-blanks]])
This function breaks string into a list of strings, using the
string sep as delimiters. If sep is unspecified
it uses spaces as delimiters. If want-blanks is specified and is
true explode() will include zero-length strings in the final
list, otherwise it will not.
Examples:
explode(" foo bar baz")
=> ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
explode("foo:bar:baz", ":")
=> ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
