they say it doesnt work on mac
I expect that that should say "Mac without OS X"
But I do not have a mac handy to test on.

Thanks for this info. By delimiters, I meant things AROUND the string
in this case... like in Perl:
Ok. I would not describe this as "converting string to a list".
That said, J can use something analogous to Perl's
"Here Is" documents, using a facility I think you should
be familiar with:
string=:0 :0
literal text
which will become
a character string
)
J offers another minor possibility (extracting strings from gerunds)
but you're right that J does offer all of Perl's string syntax options.
