split line

[pipo]

I need some help splitting one line into two,
I have for example this line:

blabla bla bla -example rarara

I want the bot to announce it like this:
<bot> blabla bla bla
<bot> rarara

so everyting before "-example" will be announced on the first line and everyting after "-example" will be announced on the second line

I search true this forum and the only thing i could find that is almost the same as i am looking for was http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php? ... ght=regexp

Now i am really a noob, so laugh and make fun of me, but i tried:

Code: Select all

set one $text
set two $text
regsub -all -- $one "-example*" one ""
regsub -all -- $two "*-example" two ""

But ofcourse that didnt worked

So who can help me
Thanks

Code: Select all

regexp {(.*)\s-example\s(.*)} $line all one two

Edit: Or you can do it faster using this method:

Code: Select all

if {[set i [lsearch -exact [split $line] -example]]!=-1} {
 set one [join [lrange [split $line] 0 [expr {$i-1}]]]
 set two [join [lrange [split $line] [expr {$i+1}] end]]
}

And if the line is someting like:

blabla bla bla -example rarara -example fdfsdfs
