Introduced StringUtil utility class to reuse logic between the global and local step classes. > The split() step should provide a way to split an entire string > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TINKERPOP-3083 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-3083 > Project: TinkerPop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: language, process > Affects Versions: 3.7.2 > Reporter: Kelvin Lawrence > Priority: Critical > > There are many use cases where it is helpful to be able to split an entire > string into an array of characters. In other query languages, passing in a > null string ('') as the parameter achieves this. I believe the Gremlin step > should behave the same way. For example > Current behavior > {code:java} > g.inject('Hello').split('') > ['Hello']{code} > Proposed new behavior > {code:java} > g.inject('Hello').split('') > ['H','e','l','l','o']{code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
