# Method Regexp.PCRE.Plain()->split()

Method split

  `array(string)|int(0..0) split(string subject, void|int startoffset)`

Description

  Matches a subject against the pattern, compatible with the old split method: returns an array of the subpatterns, or if there are no subpattern but still a match, ({0}). Returns 0 if there was no match.

  example:

  > Regexp.PCRE.Plain("i\(.*\) is \(.*\)u")->split("pike is fun"); (1) Result: ({ "ke", "f" }) > Regexp.PCRE.Plain("is fun")->split("pike is fun"); (4) Result: ({ 0 })
