    From http://docs.jsonata.org/string-functions.html: $split(str, separator [, limit]) Splits the str parameter into an array of substrings. If str is not specified, then the context value is used as the value of str. It is an error if str is not a string. The separator parameter can either be a string or a regular expression (regex). If it is a string, it specifies the characters within str about which it should be split. If it is the empty string, str will be split into an array of single characters. If it is a regex, it splits the string around any sequence of characters that match the regex. The optional limit parameter is a number that specifies the maximum number of substrings to include in the resultant array. Any additional substrings are discarded. If limit is not specified, then str is fully split with no limit to the size of the resultant array. It is an error if limit is not a non-negative number. Examples $split("so many words", " ")==[ "so", "many", "words" ] $split("so many words", " ", 2)==[ "so", "many" ] $split("too much, punctuation. hard; to read", "[ ,.;]+")==["too", "much", "punctuation", "hard", "to", "read"]
