split a character vector by a regular expression

1 2	txt %/~% rx

`txt`	text to manipulate
`rx`	regular expression

A character vector. For convenience, this function does not return a list as strsplit does.

%/~% uses strsplit to split the strings. Logical arguments of strsplit can be indirectly modified using the operators.strsplit option declared as part of this package. For example, it uses perl regular expressions by default. See %but% for a description.
