rustHow to split a string with Rust regex?

Rust regex can be used to split a string into multiple parts. The split method of the Regex type can be used to split a string. The following example code splits a string into words using a space as the delimiter:

let re = Regex::new(r"\s+").unwrap();
let words = re.split("This is a string").collect::<Vec<&str>>();

The output of the above code is:

["This", "is", "a", "string"]

The code consists of the following parts:

1. let re = Regex::new(r"\s+").unwrap(); - This line creates a new Regex object using the Regex::new method. The \s+ is a regular expression that matches one or more whitespace characters. The unwrap method is used to convert the Result type returned by the Regex::new method into a Regex type.

2. let words = re.split("This is a string").collect::<Vec<&str>>(); - This line uses the split method of the Regex type to split the string into words. The collect method is used to convert the iterator returned by the split method into a Vec<&str> type.
