-- gsplit: iterate over substrings in a string separated by a pattern
--
-- Parameters:
-- text (string) - the string to iterate over
-- pattern (string) - the separator pattern
-- plain (boolean) - if true (or truthy), pattern is interpreted as a plain
-- string, not a Lua pattern
--
-- Returns: iterator
--
-- Usage:
-- for substr in gsplit(text, pattern, plain) do
-- doSomething(substr)
-- end
function worldeditadditions.gsplit(text, pattern, plain)
local splitStart, length = 1, #text
return function ()
if splitStart then
local sepStart, sepEnd = string.find(text, pattern, splitStart, plain)
local ret
if not sepStart then
ret = string.sub(text, splitStart)
splitStart = nil
elseif sepEnd < sepStart then
-- Empty separator!
ret = string.sub(text, splitStart, sepStart)
if sepStart < length then
splitStart = sepStart + 1
else
splitStart = nil
end
else
ret = sepStart > splitStart and string.sub(text, splitStart, sepStart - 1) or ''
splitStart = sepEnd + 1
end
