Tokenize a string

From Rosetta Code
Task
Tokenize a string
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Separate the string "Hello,How,Are,You,Today" by commas into an array (or list) so that each element of it stores a different word.

Display the words to the 'user', in the simplest manner possible, separated by a period.

To simplify, you may display a trailing period.

Amazing Hopper

Hopper provides instructions for separating and modifying tokens from a string. Let "s" be a string; "n" token number:

1) {n}, $(s) ==> gets token "n" from string "s".

2) {"word", n} $$(s) ==> replace token "n" of "s", with "word".

Note: the "splitnumber" macro cannot separate a number converted to a string by the "XTOSTR" function, because this function "rounds" the number to the decimal position by default.

MSX Basic

The Commodore BASIC solution works without any changes.

PowerBASIC

PowerBASIC has a few keywords that make parsing strings trivial: PARSE, PARSE$, and PARSECOUNT. (PARSE$, not shown here, is for extracting tokens one at a time, while PARSE extracts all tokens at once into an array. PARSECOUNT returns the number of tokens found.)

FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG
    DIM parseMe AS STRING
    parseMe = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"

    REDIM parsed(PARSECOUNT(parseMe) - 1) AS STRING
    PARSE parseMe, parsed()  'comma is default delimiter

    DIM L0 AS LONG, outP AS STRING
    outP = parsed(0)
    FOR L0 = 1 TO UBOUND(parsed)  'could reuse parsecount instead of ubound
        outP = outP & "." & parsed(L0)
    NEXT

    MSGBOX outP
END FUNCTION

PureBasic

As described

NewList MyStrings.s()

For i=1 To 5
  AddElement(MyStrings())
  MyStrings()=StringField("Hello,How,Are,You,Today",i,",")
Next i

ForEach MyStrings()
  Print(MyStrings()+".")
Next

Still, easier would be

Print(ReplaceString("Hello,How,Are,You,Today",",","."))

QBasic

Visual Basic

Translation of: PowerBASIC

Unlike PowerBASIC, there is no need to know beforehand how many tokens are in the string -- Split automagically builds the array for you.

Sub Main()
    Dim parseMe As String, parsed As Variant
    parseMe = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"

    parsed = Split(parseMe, ",")

    Dim L0 As Long, outP As String
    outP = parsed(0)
    For L0 = 1 To UBound(parsed)
        outP = outP & "." & parsed(L0)
    Next

    MsgBox outP
End Sub

Split  (+`׬)-=  

'.'´ ',' Split "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"

Bracmat

Solution that employs string pattern matching to spot the commas

( "Hello,How,Are,You,Today":?String
& :?ReverseList
&   whl
  ' ( @(!String:?element "," ?String)
    & !element !ReverseList:?ReverseList
    )
& !String:?List
&   whl
  ' ( !ReverseList:%?element ?ReverseList
    & (!element.!List):?List
    )
& out$!List
)

Solution that starts by evaluating the input and employs the circumstance that the comma is a list constructing binary operator and that the string does not contain any other characters that are interpreted as operators on evaluation.

(  get$("Hello,How,Are,You,Today",MEM):?CommaseparatedList
& :?ReverseList
&   whl
  ' ( !CommaseparatedList:(?element,?CommaseparatedList)
    & !element !ReverseList:?ReverseList
    )
& !CommaseparatedList:?List
&   whl
  ' ( !ReverseList:%?element ?ReverseList
    & (!element.!List):?List
    )
& out$!List
)

C

Works with: ANSI C
Library: POSIX

This example uses the strtok() function to separate the tokens. This function is destructive (replacing token separators with '\0'), so we have to make a copy of the string (using strdup()) before tokenizing. strdup() is not part of ANSI C, but is available on most platforms. It can easily be implemented with a combination of strlen(), malloc(), and strcpy().

#include<string.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
	char *a[5];
	const char *s="Hello,How,Are,You,Today";
	int n=0, nn;

	char *ds=strdup(s);

	a[n]=strtok(ds, ",");
	while(a[n] && n<4) a[++n]=strtok(NULL, ",");

	for(nn=0; nn<=n; ++nn) printf("%s.", a[nn]);
	putchar('\n');

	free(ds);

	return 0;
}

Another way to accomplish the task without the built-in string functions is to temporarily modify the separator character. This method does not need any additional memory, but requires the input string to be writeable.

#include<stdio.h>

typedef void (*callbackfunc)(const char *);

void doprint(const char *s) {
	printf("%s.", s);
}

void tokenize(char *s, char delim, callbackfunc cb) {
	char *olds = s;
	char olddelim = delim;
	while(olddelim && *s) {
		while(*s && (delim != *s)) s++;
		*s ^= olddelim = *s; // olddelim = *s; *s = 0;
		cb(olds);
		*s++ ^= olddelim; // *s = olddelim; s++;
		olds = s;
	}
}

int main(void)
{
        char array[] = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today";
	tokenize(array, ',', doprint);
	return 0;
}

C#

string str = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"; 
// or Regex.Split ( "Hello,How,Are,You,Today", "," );
// (Regex is in System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace)
string[] strings = str.Split(',');
Console.WriteLine(String.Join(".", strings));

C++

Works with: C++98

std::getline() is typically used to tokenize strings on a single-character delimiter

#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
int main()
{
    std::string s = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today";
    std::vector<std::string> v;
    std::istringstream buf(s);
    for(std::string token; getline(buf, token, ','); )
        v.push_back(token);
    copy(v.begin(), v.end(), std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, "."));
    std::cout << '\n';
}
Works with: C++98

C++ allows the user to redefine what is considered whitespace. If the delimiter is whitespace, tokenization becomes effortless.

#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
struct comma_ws : std::ctype<char> {
    static const mask* make_table() {
    static std::vector<mask> v(classic_table(), classic_table() + table_size);
        v[','] |= space;  // comma will be classified as whitespace
        return &v[0];
    }
    comma_ws(std::size_t refs = 0) : ctype<char>(make_table(), false, refs) {}
};
int main()
{
    std::string s = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today";
    std::istringstream buf(s);
    buf.imbue(std::locale(buf.getloc(), new comma_ws));
    std::istream_iterator<std::string> beg(buf), end;
    std::vector<std::string> v(beg, end);
    copy(v.begin(), v.end(), std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, "."));
    std::cout << '\n';
}
Works with: C++98
Library: boost

The boost library has multiple options for easy tokenization.

#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/tokenizer.hpp>
int main()
{
    std::string s = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today";
    boost::tokenizer<> tok(s);
    std::vector<std::string> v(tok.begin(), tok.end());
    copy(v.begin(), v.end(), std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, "."))
    std::cout << '\n';
}
Works with: C++23

C++20 and C++23 drastically improve the ergonomics of simple manipulation of ranges.

#include <string>
#include <ranges>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
    std::string s = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today";
    s = s                               // Assign the final string back to the string variable
      | std::views::split(',')          // Produce a range of the comma separated words
      | std::views::join_with('.')      // Concatenate the words into a single range of characters
      | std::ranges::to<std::string>(); // Convert the range of characters into a regular string
    std::cout << s;
}

There are libraries out there that handle splitting (e.g., SPLIT-SEQUENCE, and the more-general CL-PPCRE), but this is a simple one-off, too. When the words are written with write-with-periods, there is no final period after the last word.

(defun comma-split (string)

        for finish = (position #\, string :start start)
        collecting (subseq string start finish)

Alternate Solution

The necessary operations are unfortunately not in the standard library (yet), but simple to write:

splitBy :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [[a]]
splitBy _ [] = []
splitBy f list = first : splitBy f (dropWhile f rest) where
  (first, rest) = break f list

splitRegex :: Regex -> String -> [String]

joinWith :: [a] -> [[a]] -> [a]
joinWith d xs = concat $ List.intersperse d xs
-- "concat $ intersperse" can be replaced with "intercalate" from the Data.List in GHC 6.8 and later

putStrLn $ joinWith "." $ splitBy (== ',') $ "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"

-- using regular expression to split:
import Text.Regex
putStrLn $ joinWith "." $ splitRegex (mkRegex ",") $ "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"

Tokenizing can also be realized by using unfoldr and break:

*Main> mapM_ putStrLn $ takeWhile (not.null) $ unfoldr (Just . second(drop 1). break (==',')) "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"
Hello
How
Are
You
Today
  • You need to import the modules Data.List and Control.Arrow

As special cases, splitting / joining by white space and by newlines are provided by the Prelude functions words / unwords and lines / unlines, respectively.

Io

J

   s=: 'Hello,How,Are,You,Today'
   ] t=: <;._1 ',',s
+-----+---+---+---+-----+
|Hello|How|Are|You|Today|
+-----+---+---+---+-----+
   ; t,&.>'.'
Hello.How.Are.You.Today.

  '.' (I.','=s)}s  NB. two steps combined
Hello.How.Are.You.Today

Alternatively using the system library/script strings

   require 'strings'
   ',' splitstring s
+-----+---+---+---+-----+
|Hello|How|Are|You|Today|
+-----+---+---+---+-----+

   '.' joinstring ',' splitstring s
Hello.How.Are.You.Today

splitstring and joinstring also work with longer "delimiters":

   '"'([ ,~ ,) '","' joinstring ',' splitstring s
"Hello","How","Are","You","Today"

But, of course, this could be solved with simple string replacement:

   rplc&',.' s
Hello.How.Are.You.Today

The task asks us to Separate the string "Hello,How,Are,You,Today" by commas into an array (or list) so that each element of it stores a different word. but for many purposes the original string is an adequate data structure. Note also that given a string, a list of "word start" indices and "word length" integers can be logically equivalent to having an "array of words" -- and, depending on implementation details may be a superior or inferior choice to some other representation. But, in current definition of this task, the concept of "word length" plays no useful role.

Note also that J provides several built-in concepts of parsing: split on leading delimiter, split on trailing delimiter, split J language words. Also, it's sometimes more efficient to append to a string than to prepend to it. So a common practice for parsing on an embedded delimiter is to append a copy of the delimiter to the string and then use the appended result:

   fn;._2 string,','

Here fn is applied to each ',' delimited substring and the results are assembled into an array.

Or, factoring out the names:

   fn ((;._2)(@(,&','))) string

Java

Works with: Java version 1.0+

There are multiple ways to tokenize a String in Java.

The first is by splitting the String into an array of Strings. The separator is actually a regular expression so you could do very powerful things with this, but make sure to escape any characters with special meaning in regex.

Works with: Java version 1.8+
String toTokenize = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today";
System.out.println(String.join(".", toTokenize.split(",")));
Works with: Java version 1.4+
String toTokenize = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today";

String words[] = toTokenize.split(",");//splits on one comma, multiple commas yield multiple splits
               //toTokenize.split(",+") if you want to ignore empty fields
for(int i=0; i<words.length; i++) {
    System.out.print(words[i] + ".");
}

The other way is to use StringTokenizer. It will skip any empty tokens. So if two commas are given in line, there will be an empty string in the array given by the split function, but no empty string with the StringTokenizer object. This method takes more code to use, but allows you to get tokens incrementally instead of all at once.

Works with: Java version 1.0+
String toTokenize = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today";

StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(toTokenize, ",");
while(tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
    System.out.print(tokenizer.nextToken() + ".");
}

JavaScript

console.log(
    "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"
        .split(",")
        .join(".")
);
A more advanced program to tokenise strings:
const Tokeniser = (function () {
	const numberRegex = /-?(\d+\.d+|\d+\.|\.\d+|\d+)((e|E)(\+|-)?\d+)?/g;
	return {
		settings: {
			operators: ["<", ">", "=", "+", "-", "*", "/", "?", "!"],
			separators: [",", ".", ";", ":", " ", "\t", "\n"],
			groupers: ["(", ")", "[", "]", "{", "}", '"', '"', "'", "'"],
			keepWhiteSpacesAsTokens: false,
			trimTokens: true
		},
		isNumber: function (value) {
			if (typeof value === "number") {
				return true;
			} else if (typeof value === "string") {
				return numberRegex.test(value);
			}
			return false;
		},
		closeGrouper: function (grouper) {
			if (this.settings.groupers.includes(grouper)) {
				return this.settings.groupers[this.settings.groupers.indexOf(grouper) + 1];
			}
			return null;
		},
		tokenType: function (char) {
			if (this.settings.operators.includes(char)) {
				return "operator";
			} else if (this.settings.separators.includes(char)) {
				return "separator";
			} else if (this.settings.groupers.includes(char)) {
				return "grouper";
			}
			return "other";
		},
		parseString: function (str) {
			if (typeof str !== "string") {
				if (str === null) {
					return "null";
				} if (typeof str === "object") {
					str = JSON.stringify(str);
				} else {
					str = str.toString();
				}
			}
			let tokens = [], _tempToken = "";
			for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
				if (this.tokenType(_tempToken) !== this.tokenType(str[i]) || this.tokenType(str[i]) === "separator") {
					if (_tempToken.trim() !== "") {
						tokens.push(this.settings.trimTokens ? _tempToken.trim() : _tempToken);
					} else if (this.settings.keepWhiteSpacesAsTokens) {
						tokens.push(_tempToken);
					}
					_tempToken = str[i];
					if (this.tokenType(_tempToken) === "separator") {
						if (_tempToken.trim() !== "") {
							tokens.push(this.settings.trimTokens ? _tempToken.trim() : _tempToken);
						} else if (this.settings.keepWhiteSpacesAsTokens) {
							tokens.push(_tempToken);
						}
						_tempToken = "";
					}
				} else {
					_tempToken += str[i];
				}
			}
			if (_tempToken.trim() !== "") {
				tokens.push(this.settings.trimTokens ? _tempToken.trim() : _tempToken);
			} else if (this.settings.keepWhiteSpacesAsTokens) {
				tokens.push(_tempToken);
			}
			return tokens.filter((token) => token !== "");
		}
	};
})();
Output:
Tokeniser.parseString("Hello,How,Are,You,Today");

// -> ['Hello', ',', 'How', ',', 'Are', ',', 'You', ',', 'Today']

LabVIEW

To tokenize the string, we use the Search/Split String function to split the string by its first comma. Add the beginning (up to, but not including the comma) to the end of the array, remove the first comma from the rest of the string, and pass it back through the shift register to the loop's next iteration. This is repeated until the string is empty. Printing is a simple matter of concatenation.

Example for Q'Nial7, using set "nodecor and set "diagram switches for better display of the array structure:

Define Array with input string:

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|H|e|l|l|o|,|H|o|w|,|A|r|e|,|Y|o|u|,|T|o|d|a|y|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Split string at the commas:

     t := s eachall = `, cut s

|+-+-+-+-+-+|+-+-+-+|+-+-+-+|+-+-+-+|+-+-+-+-+-+|
||H|e|l|l|o|||H|o|w|||A|r|e|||Y|o|u|||T|o|d|a|y||
|+-+-+-+-+-+|+-+-+-+|+-+-+-+|+-+-+-+|+-+-+-+-+-+|
+-----------+-------+-------+-------+-----------+

Join string with . and remove last .

     u := front content (cart t `.)

OCaml

To split on a single-character separator:

let words = String.split_on_char ',' "Hello,How,Are,You,Today" in
String.concat "." words

The function split_on_char has been introduced in OCaml 4.04. In previous versions, it could be implemented by:

let split_on_char sep s =
  let r = ref [] in
  let j = ref (String.length s) in
  for i = String.length s - 1 downto 0 do
    if s.[i] = sep then begin
      r := String.sub s (i + 1) (!j - i - 1) :: !r;
      j := i
    end
  done;
  String.sub s 0 !j :: !r

Version #1.

Simple version, like the most custom ones here (for this task). This version has 1 character delimiter, which is not allowed in the beginning and at the end of string, in addition, double, triple, etc., delimiters are not allowed too.

Works with: PARI/GP version 2.7.4 and above
\\ Tokenize a string str according to 1 character delimiter d. Return a list of tokens.

Plain English

To run:
Start up.
Split "Hello,How,Are,You,Today" into some string things given the comma byte.
Join the string things with the period byte giving a string.
Destroy the string things.
Write the string on the console.
Wait for the escape key.
Shut down.

To join some string things with a byte giving a string:
Get a string thing from the string things.
Loop.
If the string thing is nil, exit.
Append the string thing's string to the string.
If the string thing's next is not nil, append the byte to the string.
Put the string thing's next into the string thing.
Repeat.
Output:
Hello.How.Are.You.Today

Pop11

The natural solution in Pop11 uses lists.

There are built in libraries for tokenising strings, illustrated below, along with code that the user could create for the task.

First show the use of sysparse_string to break up a string and make a list of strings.

;;; Make a list of strings from a string using space as separator
lvars list;
sysparse_string('the cat sat on the mat') -> list;
;;; print the list of strings
list =>
** [the cat sat on the mat]

By giving it an extra parameter 'true' we can make it recognize numbers and produce a list of strings and numbers

lvars list;
sysparse_string('one 1 two 2 three 3 four 4', true) -> list;
;;; print the list of strings and numbers
list =>
** [one 1 two 2 three 3 four 4]
;;; check that first item is a string and second an integer
isstring(list(1))=>
** <true>
isinteger(list(2))=>
** <true>

Now show some uses of the built in procedure sys_parse_string, which allows more options:

;;; Make pop-11 print strings with quotes
true -> pop_pr_quotes;
;;;
;;; Create a string of tokens using comma as token separator
lvars str='Hello,How,Are,You,Today';
;;;
;;; Make a list of strings by applying sys_parse_string
;;; to str, using the character `,` as separator (the default
;;; separator, if none is provided, is the space character).
lvars strings;
[% sys_parse_string(str, `,`) %] -> strings;
;;;
;;; print the list of strings
strings =>
** ['Hello' 'How' 'Are' 'You' 'Today']

If {% ... %} were used instead of [% ... %] the result would be a vector (i.e. array) of strings rather than a list of strings.

{% sys_parse_string(str, `,`) %} -> strings;
;;; print the vector
strings =>
** {'Hello' 'How' 'Are' 'You' 'Today'}

It is also possible to give sys_parse_string a 'conversion' procedure, which is applied to each of the tokens. E.g. it could be used to produce a vector of numbers, using the conversion procedure 'strnumber', which converts a string to a number:

lvars numbers;
{% sys_parse_string('100 101 102 103 99.9 99.999', strnumber) %} -> numbers;
;;; the result is a vector containing integers and floats,
;;; which can be printed thus:
numbers =>
** {100 101 102 103 99.9 99.999}

Using lower level pop-11 facilities to tokenise the string:

;;; Declare and initialize variables
lvars str='Hello,How,Are,You,Today';
;;; Iterate over string
lvars ls = [], i, j = 1;
for i from 1 to length(str) do
    ;;; If comma
    if str(i) = `,` then
       ;;; Prepend word (substring) to list
       cons(substring(j, i - j, str), ls) -> ls;
       i + 1 -> j;
    endif;
endfor;
;;; Prepend final word (if needed)
if j <= length(str) then
    cons(substring(j, length(str) - j + 1, str), ls) -> ls;
endif;
;;; Reverse the list
rev(ls) -> ls;

Since the task requires to use array we convert list to array

;;; Put list elements and lenght on the stack
destlist(ls);
;;; Build a vector from them
lvars ar = consvector();
;;; Display in a loop, putting trailing period
for i from 1 to length(ar) do
   printf(ar(i), '%s.');
endfor;
printf('\n');

We could use list directly for printing:

for i in ls do
    printf(i, '%s.');
endfor;

so the conversion to vector is purely to satisfy task formulation.

PowerShell

Works with: PowerShell version 1
$words = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today".Split(',')
[string]::Join('.', $words)
Works with: PowerShell version 2
$words = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today" -split ','
$words -join '.'
Works with: PowerShell version 2

The StringSplitOptions enumeration weeds out the return of empty elements.

"Hello,How,Are,You,Today", ",,Hello,,Goodbye,," | ForEach-Object {($_.Split(',',[StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)) -join "."}
Output:
Hello.How.Are.You.Today
Hello.Goodbye

Prolog

Works with: SWI Prolog
splitup(Sep,[token(B)|BL]) --> splitup(Sep,B,BL).
splitup(Sep,[A|AL],B)      --> [A], {\+ [A] = Sep }, splitup(Sep,AL,B).
splitup(Sep,[],[B|BL])     --> Sep, splitup(Sep,B,BL).
splitup(_Sep,[],[])        --> [].
start :-
    phrase(splitup(",",Tokens),"Hello,How,Are,You,Today"),
    phrase(splitup(".",Tokens),Backtogether),
    string_to_list(ABack,Backtogether),
    writeln(ABack).
Output:
 ?- start.
 Hello.How.Are.You.Today
Works with: SWI Prolog 7

Using the SWI Prolog string data type and accompanying predicates, this can be accomplished in a few lines in the top level:

?- split_string("Hello,How,Are,You,Today", ",", "", Split),
|    atomics_to_string(Split, ".", PeriodSeparated),
|    writeln(PeriodSeparated).
Hello.How.Are.You.Today

Python

Works with: Python version 2.5
Works with: Python version 3.0
text = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"
tokens = text.split(',')
print ('.'.join(tokens))

Or if interpretation of the task description means you don't need to keep an intermediate array:

print ('.'.join('Hello,How,Are,You,Today'.split(',')))

This will suffice to split a string into an array of substrings. It is used like this:

create strings 100 allot
"Hello,How,Are,You,Today" ', strings split

Since the buffer' vocabulary creates a zero-terminated buffer, we can display it using the each@ combinator and a simple quote:

REXX

version 1

This REXX version doesn't append a period to the last word in the list.

/*REXX program separates a string of comma─delimited words, and echoes them ──► terminal*/
original = 'Hello,How,Are,You,Today'             /*some words separated by commas (,).  */
say  'The input string:'  original               /*display original string ──► terminal.*/

                 do #=1  until  new==''          /*keep processing until  NEW  is empty.*/
                 parse var  new   @.#  ','  new  /*parse words delineated by a comma (,)*/
                 end   /*#*/                     /* [↑]  the new array is named   @.    */
say                                              /* NEW  is destructively parsed.   [↑] */
say center(' Words in the string ', 40, "═")     /*display a nice header for the list.  */
                 do j=1  for #                   /*display all the words (one per line),*/
                 say @.j || left(., j\==#)       /*maybe append a period (.) to a word. */
                 end   /*j*/                     /* [↑]  don't append a period if last. */
say center(' End─of─list ', 40, "═")             /*display a (EOL) trailer for the list.*/
output   when using the internal default input:
The input string: Hello,How,Are,You,Today

═════════ Words in the string ══════════
Hello.
How.
Are.
You.
Today
═════════════ End─of─list ══════════════

version 2

This REXX version won't work if any of the words have an embedded blank (or possible a tab character) in them, as in:

Hello,Betty Sue,How,Are,You,Today

/*REXX program to separate a string of comma-delimited words and echo */
sss='Hello,How,Are,You,Today'
say 'input string='sss
say ''
say 'Words in the string:'
ss =translate(sss,' ',',')
dot='.'
Do i=1 To words(ss)
  If i=words(ss) Then dot=''
  say word(ss,i)dot
  End
say 'End-of-list.'

output is similar to REXX version 1.

Smalltalk

|array |
array := 'Hello,How,Are,You,Today' subStrings: $,.
array fold: [:concatenation :string | concatenation, '.', string ]

Some implementations also have a join: convenience method that allows the following shorter solution:

('Hello,How,Are,You,Today' subStrings: $,) join: '.'

The solution displaying a trailing period would be:

|array |
array := 'Hello,How,Are,You,Today' subStrings: $,.
array inject: '' into: [:concatenation :string | concatenation, string, '.' ]

SNOBOL4

For this task, it's convenient to define Perl-style split( ) and join( ) functions.

        define('split(chs,str)i,j,t,w2') :(split_end)
split   t = table()
sp1     str pos(0) (break(chs) | rem) $ t<i = i + 1>
+           span(chs) (break(chs) | '') . w2  = w2 :s(sp1)
*       t<i> = differ(str,'') str ;* Uncomment for CSnobol
        split = array(i)
sp2     split<j = j + 1> = t<j> :s(sp2)f(return)
split_end

        define('join(ch,a)i,') :(join_end)
join    join = join a<i = i + 1>
        join = join ?a<i + 1> ch :s(join)f(return)
join_end

*       # Test and display
        output = join('.',split(',','Hello,How,Are,You,Today'))
end
Output:
 Hello.How.Are.You.Today

Standard ML

val splitter = String.tokens (fn c => c = #",");

Swift

Works with: Swift version 3.x
let text = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"
let tokens = text.components(separatedBy: ",") // for single or multi-character separator
print(tokens)
let result = tokens.joined(separator: ".")
print(result)
Works with: Swift version 2.x
let text = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"
let tokens = text.characters.split(",").map{String($0)} // for single-character separator
print(tokens)
let result = tokens.joinWithSeparator(".")
print(result)
Works with: Swift version 1.x
let text = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"
let tokens = split(text, { $0 == "," }) // for single-character separator
println(tokens)
let result = ".".join(tokens)
println(result)
For multi-character separators:
import Foundation

let text = "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"
let tokens = text.componentsSeparatedByString(",")
print(tokens)

Tcl

Generating a list form a string by splitting on a comma:

split $string ","

Joining the elements of a list by a period:

join $list "."

Thus the whole thing would look like this:

puts [join [split "Hello,How,Are,You,Today" ","] "."]

If you'd like to retain the list in a variable with the name "words", it would only be marginally more complex:

puts [join [set words [split "Hello,How,Are,You,Today" ","]] "."]

(In general, the regexp command is also used in Tcl for tokenization of strings, but this example does not need that level of complexity.)

tr

tr knows nothing about arrays, so this solution only changes each comma to a period.

echo 'Hello,How,Are,You,Today' | tr ',' '.'

Transd

#lang transd

MainModule: {
_start: (lambda locals: s "Hello,How,Are,You,Today"

TXR

Collecting tokens which consist of non-empty sequences of non-commas.

@(next :list "Hello,How,Are,You,Today")
@(coll)@{token /[^,]+/}@(end)
@(output)
@(rep)@token.@(last)@token@(end)
@(end)

Different approach. Collect tokens, each of which is a piece of text which either terminates before a comma, or else extends to the end of the line.

@(next :list "Hello,How,Are,You,Today")
@(coll)@(maybe)@token,@(or)@token@(end)@(end)
@(output)
@(rep)@token.@(last)@token@(end)
@(end)

Ursala

A list of strings is made by separating at the commas using the library function, sep. A single string is then made by joining the list of strings with periods using the library function, mat. Each of these is a second order function parameterized by the delimiter. Character literals are preceded by a backquote.

#cast %s

main = mat`. token_list
Output:

Vedit macro language

Vedit does not use the concepts of array or list. Normally, the text is processed as text in an edit buffer.

However, this example shows how to split the text into multiple text registers (10, 11, 12 etc.). The contents of each text register is then displayed to user, separated by a period.

Buf_Switch(Buf_Free)
Ins_Text("Hello,How,Are,You,Today")

// Split the text into text registers 10, 11, ...
BOF
#1 = 9
Repeat(ALL) {

until   K>=5;
for K:= 4 downto 0 do [Text(0, addr Array(K,0));  ChOut(0, ^.)];
CrLf(0);
]

The 'addr' operator is used to fetch the 32-bit address of Array rather than a byte from the character array.

Output (done in reverse order to emphasize the tokens are indeed separate):

Today.You.Are.How.Hello.

Tokenize a string

Zsh

str='Hello,How,Are,You,Today'
tokens=(${(s:,:)str})
print ${(j:.:)tokens}

Or, using SH_SPLIT_WORD:

str='Hello,How,Are,You,Today'
IFS=, echo ${(j:.:)${=str}}
