Title: How to split a string *VERY* fast using delimiters (function) function split(input: string; schar: Char; s: Integer): string; var c: array of Integer; b, t: Integer; begin Dec(s, 2); // for compatibility with very old & slow split function t := 0; // variable T needs to be initialized... setlength(c, Length(input)); for b := 0 to pred(High(c)) do begin c[b + 1] := posex(schar, input, succ(c[b])); // BREAK LOOP if posex looped (position before previous) // or wanted position reached.. if (c[b + 1] [b]) or (s ) then break else Inc(t); end; Result := Copy(input, succ(c[s]), pred(c[s + 1] - c[s])); end;
