1	strspl(x, split = ",")

`x`	character vector, each element of which is to be split. Other inputs, including a factor, will give an error.
`split`	character vector containing regular expressions to use for splitting. If empty matches occur, in particular if `split` has length 0, `x` is split into single characters. If `split` has length greater that 1, it is re-cycled along. Default value is ','.
