Hello there,

I have a question about lisp string manipulation.

Basically I want to chop the string into several pieces according
to a special character. For example the string is "aaa: b cc"
'aaa', 'b', 'cc' can be any length.

If the special character is space, I would like to get first string 
as "aaa:" , second string as "b" , third string as "cc" 
If the special character is colon, I would like to get first string
as "aaa" , second string as "b cc"

Can anyone out there help me out ? Thanks.
