Tom Schouten about [PD] regular expressions (symbol splitting) / Today

 |
 |hi list,
 |
 |i was wondering if there is a way to evaluate regular expressions on a
 |symbol in pd.
 |
 |what i want to do is split a composite symbol, i.e:
 |
 |"this-is-my-symbol"
 |
 |into parts
 |
 |"this",  "is",  "my",  "symbol"
 |
 |it would be nice to have a full perl style regexp extern, but for my
 |application it suffices to split a symbol into two parts at the first
 |occurance of some separator character, i.e "-"
 |
 |maybe somebody already implemented this?
