If you want to tokenize a string into a set, this is one approach. ~~~ {{ 'Split-On var :match? (c-f) @Split-On eq? ; :terminate (s-s) #0 over n:dec store ; :step (ss-s) [ n:inc ] dip match? [ dup , terminate ] if ; ---reveal--- :s:tokenize (sc-a) !Split-On s:keep here #0 , [ dup , dup [ step ] s:for-each drop ] dip here over - n:dec over store ; }} ~~~
