[Bro] str_split

[Lorenzo Cavallaro]

Vern,

   thanks for the reply. I tried that before stucking on str_split.
   Unfortunately, I need to perform different operation depending on the
   character position that's why split_all didn't apparently give me any
   useful result. 

   Actually, the string is splitted but, if I got it right, the order of
   splitted chars is not guaranteed. Moreover, what are those empty
   slots?

TIA, bye
Lorenzo
