Go: How to split a string into a slice

Split

Use the strings.Split function to split a string into its comma separated values:

s := strings.Split("a,b,c", ",")
fmt.Println(s)
// Output: [a b c]

To include the separators, use strings.SplitAfter. To split only the first n values, use strings.SplitN and strings.SplitAfterN.

Fields

Use the strings.Fields function to split a string into substrings removing white space:

s := strings.Fields(" a \t b \n")
fmt.Println(s)
// Output: [a b]

For more complex cases, use regular expressions.
