[%CFEngine_function_prototype(string, regex, maxent)%]
Description: Splits string into at most maxent substrings wherever
regex occurs, and returns the list with those strings.
The regular expression is [unanchored][unanchored].
If the maximum number of substrings is insufficient to accommodate all the entries, the rest of the un-split string is thrown away.
[%CFEngine_function_attributes(string, regex, maxent)%]
Example:
[%CFEngine_include_snippet(splitstring.cf, #+begin_src cfengine3, .*end_src)%]
Output:
[%CFEngine_include_snippet(splitstring.cf, #+begin_src\s+example_output\s*, .*end_src)%]
History: Deprecated in CFEngine 3.6 in favor of string_split
