Not a bad function, if it does what it seems to from the source/name.

Not sure if I need it right atm, strtok() usually does it for me, but for de-concatenating strings for Vault / SQL storage it would be useful.

I love parsing messages with "|" for a delimiter, so this is perfect for my plugins

Well the pipe is the only real delimiter, tbh.

I just wish there were something as fast and powerful as Caché's $Piece function ... ah, well.

It's pretty handy for me too, but I decided to write my own version instead.
Though without copyc ... I just went for looping through the array comparing cells.

This can be done in a single, optimized and incomplete loop rather than in standalone and nested loops.

stock ExplodeString( Output[][], Max, Size, Input[], Delimiter )
{
    new Idx, l = strlen(Input), Len;
    do Len += (1 + copyc( Output[Idx], Size, Input[Len], Delimiter ));
    while( (Len < l) && (++Idx < Max) )
    return Idx;
