the second line is to actually build a comma delimited list of all the values that are separated by the word _split_.
without this some of the entries are not separated as '_' seems to be being used as a separator. the second replace removes the '_' so as to give a list of all entries requiring to be extracted... If you do not wish to separate these out on the '_' character just omit the second line...
