§ 4.102 - [locsplit] Built-InMnemonic aid: locsplit for LOCal SPLIT See also: [glosplit] , [split] and [splitcount] This built-in takes content and splits it into local variables with a numeric suffix for retrieval using the [v] or [lv] built-ins. The idea is that for some styles, you will want to pass more than one parameter. [locsplit] takes a variable base-name vName, a separator parameter X, and then the content to be split. You can specify anything you like as the separator, although to use a comma, you must use the comma escape, [co] Tip: After the [locsplit vName,splitSpec,ContentToSplit] operation has run, you can retrieve the number of variables that were created as current [v vnamex] values from the local variable vname_splitcount.
