split(d,s)

function l = split(d,s)
%L=SPLIT(S,D) splits a string S delimited by characters in D.  Meant to
%             work roughly like the PERL split function (but without any
%             regular expression support).  Internally uses STRTOK to do 
%             the splitting.  Returns a cell array of strings.

%Example:
%    >> split('_/', 'this_is___a_/_string/_//')
%    ans = 
%        'this'    'is'    'a'    'string'   []
