Characters Strings.
Splits the given String int a Vector of numbers and print the resulting vector to the serial port. Characters are typographic symbols such as A, d, and %. The character datatype, abbreviated as char, stores letters and symbols in the Unicode format, a coding system developed to support a variety of world languages. Characters are distinguished from other symbols by putting them between single quotes ('W'). A string is a sequence of characters. A string is noted by surrounding a group of letters with double quotes ("Wiring"). Chars and strings are most often used with the serial methods, to print text to the serial port and visualize it in the serial monitor.

    String str = String("1240,87000,10,30,20,1200");  // The string to split
    Vector <long> numVector;  // Vector of long numbers

    void setup()
    {
      Serial.begin(9600);
      pinMode(WLED, OUTPUT);  // turn ON wiring hardware LED
      digitalWrite(WLED, HIGH);

      // split str using ',' as separator and store the resolt on numVector
      splitString(str, ',', numVector);
      for (int i = 0; i < numVector.size(); i++)
      {
        // print the contents of numVector
        Serial.println(numVector.get(i), DEC);
      }
    }
