1. Thank you Nemo!! Problem solved.
2. There are lots of string functions already implemented - lc, uc, lcfirs,
ucfirst, #titleparts... PAGENAME, FULLPAGENAME, BASEPAGENAME... - today.
IMHO a generalized *split* function would be great to extend just a little
bit the field of #titleparts to implement an efficient, simple way to manage
simple arrays. StringFunctions could fire fantasy - *split* function would
only increase efficiency to solve common issues.
