rustHow to split a string by regex in Rust?

Splitting a string by regex in Rust can be done using the str::split method. This method takes a &str and a &str representing a regular expression as arguments and returns an iterator over the substrings of the given string slice, separated by the regular expression.

Example code

let s = "Hello, world!";
let re = r"\W+";

for part in s.split(re) {
    println!("{}", part);
}

Output example

Hello
world

Code explanation

• let s = "Hello, world!";: This line declares a &str variable s and assigns it the value "Hello, world!".
• let re = r"\W+";: This line declares a &str variable re and assigns it the value r"\W+", which is a regular expression representing one or more non-word characters.
• for part in s.split(re): This line uses the str::split method to split the string s by the regular expression re and iterate over the resulting substrings.
• println!("{}", part);: This line prints each substring to the console.
