<lang sensetalk>

set source to "a!===b=!=c"

set separators to ["==", "!=", "="]

// first approach, using line delimiters

put each line delimited by separators of source

// second approach, using a pattern

set source to "a!===b=!=c"

set separatorPattern to <"==" or "!=" or "=">

put source split by separatorPattern

// and show the separators that were found, for extra credit:

put each occurrence of separatorPattern in source

</lang>

Output:

<lang sensetalk>(a,,b,,c)

(a,,b,,c)

(!=,==,=,!=)</lang>

Explanation:

Lines are delimited by an array of separator strings, normally [CRLF, LF, CR, lineSeparator(0x2028), paragraphSeparator(0x2029)]. Supplying an alternate set of delimiters lets us split a string by a different (ordered) set of strings.

SenseTalk's pattern language lets us define a pattern (a regex) which can then be used to split the string and also to display the actual separators that were found.
