#4380
Description of the Change
Introduces a
StringUtil.split()
function that macro functions and others can use to split strings using a literal delimiter.The following functions were updated to use
StringUtil.split()
and thus no longer interpret their delimiters as regex:json.toList()
json.fromStrProp()
execLink()
execFunction()
selectTokens()
deselectTokens()
broadcast()
exposeFOW()
input()
Also removed are the unused
JSONMacroFunctionsOld
class and theMapTool.addGlobalMessage(String, String, String)
method which also had improper uses ofString.split()
.Possible Drawbacks
Existing macros that depend on the incorrect behaviour will need to be updated.
Documentation Notes
This brings each function in line with its documentation.
