Will split string into pieces based on the pipe separator or am I wrong? I only get back-reference $0 from it when testing and should see all back-references in the tool. The string can have N &nbsp;number of pipe separators but I only care about $2. What is the regex that performs that.<br />

(CODE)Will split string into pieces based on the pipe separator or am I wrong? I only get back-reference $0 from it when testing and should see all back-references in the tool.
