This is a user-defined function that you can copy and paste into your addon.
Split a string into groups of "length" each ending with "endChars" (identical to the PHP function of the same name).
table = <PREFIX>_ChunkSplit(string [, length [, endChars]])
Function Parameters[]
Arguments[]
- string
- String - containing words that you would like split.
- length
- Integer - number of characters to split the string by. Default is 76.
- endChars
- String - Add this to the end of each chunk. Default is "\n".
Returns[]
- chunks
- Table - array of chunks
Example[]
chunks = <PREFIX>_ChunkSplit("World of Warcraft", 2)
Result[]
chunks = { "Wo\n", "rl\n", "d \n", "of\n", " W\n", "ar\n", "cr\n", "af\n", "t\n", }
Code[]
function <PREFIX>_ChunkSplit(string, length, endChars) if not string then return {} end -- Sanity check: make sure length is an integer. length = floor(tonumber(length)) if not length then length = 76 end if not endChars then endChars = "\n" end local Table = {} for i=1, strlen(string), length do table.insert(Table, strsub(string, i, i + length) .. endChars) end return Table end
