B4J Question [BANano] How do I create a SplitWords sub using RegEx?

[Mashiane]

Hi

I'm not very good with reg ex, im looking for a split words sub that I can use in BANano?

Tried..

Public Sub SplitWords(s As String) As String()
    Return Regex.Split("\W+", s)
End Sub

How can I write this well to work?

Thanks

Update: This is my current attempt which is not working.

Public Sub SplitWords(s As String) As String()
    Dim x As BANanoRegEx
    x.InitializePattern("\W+")
    Dim res() As String = x.ExecAll(s)
    Return res
End Sub

Output:

// [232] Public Sub SplitWords(s As String) As String()
this.splitwords=function(_s) {
if (_B==null) _B=this;
var _x,_res;
// [233]  Dim x As BANanoRegEx
_x=null;
// [234]  x.InitializePattern( {201} )
_x=new RegExp(\W+);
// [235]  Dim res() As String = x.ExecAll(s)
_res=(_foundRES=_x.exec(_s), _foundRES == null) ? null: _foundRES;
// [236]  Return res
return _res;
// End Sub
};

I'm not very familiar with regex myself, but maybe something like this:

    Dim str As String = "This is a test I'm doing to split a sentence into words."
    Dim RegExp As BANanoRegEx
    RegExp.InitializePattern("/\b[^\s]+\b/g")
    Dim found As String = RegExp.Exec(str)
    Do While found <> Null
        Log(found)
        found = RegExp.Exec(str)
    Loop
