I want to split strings , but not with the default paterns like this:

for token in gmatch("lalla", [^%p]+) do
or with %a %c %d %l %w etc...

i want to do that but with a designated patern like this:
(not a real code , you know)

for token in gmatch("la:la\la.la", "\")

then the results will be : la:la and la.la

(sorry for any English error)

without use a patern like separete with ponctuation by %p

ok, here it goes:

local function split(str,sep)
  sep = sep or " "
  local ret = {}
  for token in str:gmatch("[^"..sep.."]+") do
	 ret[#ret+1] = token
  end
return ret end
