Returns a text list composed of the elements of a text string or date range.
@Explode( dateRange )
@Explode( string )
@Explode( string ; separators )
@Explode( string ; separators ; includeEmpties )
@Explode( string ; separators ; includeEmpties ; newlineAsSeparator )
dateRange
Time-date range or time-date range list. The range of dates that you want to make into a text list. Specify a valid date-time range, not a string representation of one. For example, @Explode( "05/01/96 - 05/02/96" ) is invalid because the parameter is a string. Use @Explode( [05/01/96 - 05/02/96] ).
string
Text or text list. The string that you want to make into a text list.
separators
Text. Optional. One or more characters that define the end of an element in string. The default separators are " ,;" (space, comma, semicolon), which means that Lotus Domino adds a new element to the text list each time a space, comma, or semicolon occurs in the original string. When you use more than one character to specify separators, each character defines one separator. For example, the specification "and" breaks the string at each occurrence of "a," "n," and "d"; it does not break the string at each occurrence of the word "and." The newline is a separator, regardless of the specification of this parameter, unless newlineAsSeparator is specified as False.
includeEmpties
Boolean. Optional. Specify True (1) to place an empty string ("") in the returned list when a separator appears at the beginning or end of the string, or two separators appear consecutively in the string. Specify False (0) to not include empty list elements for leading, trailing, and consecutive separators. Defaults to False.
newlineAsSeparator
Note This parameter is new with Release 6.
Boolean. Optional. Specify True (1) to treat the newline as a separator. Specify False (0) to not treat the newline as a separator. Defaults to True.
explodedString
Text list. A list containing each element found in string, or each date found in dateRange.
If the first parameter is a list, the function concatenates the list elements treating the list boundaries as separators.
