For example I am trying to figure out how I would split each line on a delimiter. I cant figure out what the syntax is

dt [ "," split ] pls prints split

dt [ "," split ] map pls prints stack underflow

I think I could definitely use this if it had better docs and I could figure out how to.



I don't know what that is intended with that, but for simple line splits I'd use awk, which is typically everywhere, and its parameter -F (F there stands for field separator) that is, given the file L with the lines

   hello,world,one
   maybe,baby,you
awk -F, '{ print $2 }' L

should give

   world
   baby
