Seth Hall commented on BIT-758:
-------------------------------
Couldn't you get the same functionality with one of the split functions using
this pattern?
/[^\/]#/
> New function split_esc

> Key: BIT-758
> URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-758
> Project: Bro Issue Tracker
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Bro
> Affects Versions: git/master
> Reporter: Matthias Vallentin
>
> In the topic branch {{topic/matthias/split-escaped}}, I added new
> functionality to split strings that may contain an escaped split expression.
> E.g., now it would be possible to split strings of the form
> {noformat}
> a#b\#c#d
> {noformat}
> into {{[b\#c, d|a,]}}. This would otherwise not be possible, because one
> cannot perform a lookahead with Bro's regular expressions.
> I implemented this function as an utility function at the scripting layer,
> rather than adding a new BiF. Ideally, we'd enhance {{split_n}} with this
> ability and then propagate the changes through the respective {{split*}}
> functions. But before this happens, it makes probably more sense to address
> BIT-757 first.
