Parameters:

target - string to split up

split - string with which to do the splitting

maxCol - maximum number of columns to return. -1 to return all

Returns:

an empty array if target is length 0, otherwise an array with n + 1 strings, where n is the number of occurrences of split. Will only return n strings if the final occurrence of split is at the end of target.
