This command is unreliable/broken when it comes to some non-ASCII characters (as of Arma 3 v1.58):

"Mörser" splitString "" // -> ["M"," "," ","r","s","e","r"] "Mörser" splitString "ö" // -> ["M","rser"] "Mörser" splitString "ä" // -> ["M"," rser"]

This commands works only with ASCII chars, any chars with codes > 127, also used in different languages, will be converted to [" ", " "]. Use toArray to preserve special characters:

_spaced = toArray "Mörser" apply {toString [_x]} joinString " "; // M ö r s e r

When working with string which contain linebreaks...

"stringWith" + endl + "Linebreak" splitString ",; "; /* result is ["someStringWith Linebreak"] */

...one can remove those by adding endl as delimiter

"stringWith" + endl + "Linebreak" splitString ",; " + endl; // result is ["someStringWith","Linebreak"]
