Node:List/String Conversion, Next:String Selection, Previous:String Constructors, Up:Strings
When processing strings, it is often convenient to first convert them
into a list representation by using the procedure string->list,
work with the resulting list, and then convert it back into a string.
These procedures are useful for similar tasks.
| string->list str | Scheme Procedure |
| scm_string_to_list (str) | C Function |
Return a newly allocated list of the characters that make up
the given string str. string->list and
list->string are inverses as far as equal? is
concerned.

| string-split str chr | Scheme Procedure |
| scm_string_split (str, chr) | C Function |
Split the string str into the a list of the substrings delimited
by appearances of the character chr. Note that an empty substring
between separator characters will result in an empty string in the
result list.
(string-split "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash" #\:)
=>
("root" "x" "0" "0" "root" "/root" "/bin/bash")
(string-split "::" #\:)
=>
("" "" "")
(string-split "" #\:)
=>
("")
