StringSplit limit parameter

[Paulie]

StringSplit("String","delimiters"[, flag [,limit]])

I was wondering how big of a hassle it would be to make StringSplit have an additional optional parameter that would limit the amount of splits. Similar to PHPs "explode"

Example

$String = "Test1|Test2|Test3|Test4"
$Result = StringSplit($String, "|",1,2);<-2 would split to 2 elements (perform 1 split)

$Result[0] = 2 (redundant i suppose :\)
$Result[1] = "Test1"
$Result[2] = "Test2|Test3|Test4"

Reason

There have been multiple time that I've found myself splitting a long string only to use the first few elements, while it hasn't been a problem to use the current stringsplit for this, it seems like a feature that wouldn't hurt (especially considering it would be an optional param, so no script breaks)

I'm sure it's been considered, but i didn't see it suggested.
Thanks.

I posted an Explode function for anyone needing something like this:

I would prefer to have a _StringExplode() Standard UDF than to add such extension to basic StringSplit()

I sort of agree with JP. If this is still important to anybody then somebody should take the appropriate steps to submit a _StringExplode() function.
