# StringSplit Gets substrings by a specified separator from the specified string, returns the number of substrings obtained. ``` int  StringSplit(    const string   string_value,       // A string to search in    const ushort   separator,          // A separator using which substrings will be searched    string         & result[]          // An array passed by reference to get the found substrings    ); ``` Parameters string_value [in]  The string from which you need to get substrings. The string will not change. pos [in]  The code of the separator character. To get the code, you can use the [StringGetCharacter()](/en/docs/strings/stringgetcharacter) function. result[] [out]  An array of strings where the obtained substrings are located. Return Value The number of substrings in the result[] array. If the separator is not found in the passed string, only one source string will be placed in the array. If string_value is empty or NULL, the function will return zero. In case of an error the function returns -1. To get the [error](/en/docs/constants/errorswarnings/errorcodes) code, call the [GetLastError()](/en/docs/check/getlasterror) function. Example: ``` string to_split="_life_is_good_"; // A string to split into substrings    string sep="_";                // A separator as a character    ushort u_sep;                  // The code of the separator character    string result[];               // An array to get strings    //--- Get the separator code    u_sep=StringGetCharacter(sep,0);    //--- Split the string to substrings    int k=StringSplit(to_split,u_sep,result);    //--- Show a comment     PrintFormat("Strings obtained: %d. Used separator '%s' with the code %d",k,sep,u_sep);    //--- Now output all obtained strings    if(k>0)      {       for(int i=0;i
