[USEFUL FUNCTION] Explode
This function will split a string up by a character you specify, and then store each 'token' in an array.
Example code
Code:
new String:myArray[5][32];
new size = explode(5, "This\nis\nlots\nof\nlines", 31, '\n');
// size will be: 5
// myArray will be {"This", "is", "lots", "of", "lines"}
Code:
