split string?

hi,
was wondering if it was possible to split a string into its characters.
Example:

I have a string (word) like "WORD".
Now i want the script to split it into: "W","O","R,"D".

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

list sbSplit(string strWord) {
integer x;
list lstLetters;
integer intLength = llStringLength(strWord);

for (x = 0; x < intLength; x++) {
lstLetters = (lstLetters=[]) + lstLetters + [llGetSubString(strWord, x, x)];
}

return lstLetters;
}

Thanks a lot!

There is some issue that in the future that the execution order will change and the (lstLetters=[]) hack won't work anymore. The below code does the same action without using it.

list sbSplit(string strWord) {
    integer x = 0;
    string t = "";
    list lstLetters = [];

    while((t = llGetSubString(strWord, --x, x))) lstLetters = t + lstLetters;

    return lstLetters;
}

EDIT:
sorry, i don't know why I made my function run backwords. I have fixed it.

Breaking countless scripts that use it? That's lovely. Will they at least, at the same time, make lists more efficient so that the hack isn't necessary?

Here is an alternate version

list sbSplit(string strWord)
{
if (llStringLength(strWord)<= 1) {
return [strWord];
}
return [llGetSubString(strWord, 0, 0)]+sbSplit(llGetSubString(strWord, 1, -1));
}

@Wyatt: You do not want to use recursion in LSL, it's very expensive.

Also, for single list entries you shouldn't wrap it in [], they are costly; you should use the (list) typecast. The + operator handles list addition with non list items so you don't need to even typecast it.

Anyway, why do you want to split the string into a list? In most situations you just want to operator on it char at a time so it's just easier to use the string functions.
