Well, the 'all refinement let's you parse everything except what you
tell it not to parse. ie...
>> a: {Hello world, "this to" is an example;}
== {Hello world, "this to" is an example;}
>> parse/all a " "
== ["Hello" "world," "this to" "is" "an" "example;"]
Though your "this to" becomes one string instead of two. Close to
what you want though, and stripping out the speach-marks first would
be one option. ie...
>> parse/all replace/all a "^"" "" " "
== ["Hello" "world," "this" "to" "is" "an" "example;"]
gets your example right, at least.
HTH.
