Arguments

x	A vector of strings
split	A character to use for splitting. If split is empty (i.e. split = ''), x is split into single characters. Otherwise, x is split on split boundaries.
USE.NAMES	logical; if TRUE use x as names for the result.
return.all	logical; if FALSE (the default), returns only the striped strings. If TRUE, returns a list with elements left, strings, right, containing left and right common portions, and the trimmed strings, respectively.
