You now see the result of splitting the target string with our regular
expression. Each vertical bar is meant as a divider between two strings,
i.e. in this case the result is the array consisting of the
five strings "a
",
"ca
",
"caba
",
"" (the empty string),
and "
b
".
Note that you can choose another divider with the radio buttons at the bottom if the vertical bar happens to be a part of your string. Also note that the "block" divider might slow down the whole program if you're working with very long strings.
