The split() function returns an array. This example shows how to print the elements of an array:

   a = "ImageJ v1.52e Ubuntu 18.04";
   print(a);
   b = split(a, " ");
   for (i=0; i<b.length; i++)
      print(i, b[i]);

This is the output:

   ImageJ v1.52e Ubuntu 18.04
   0 ImageJ
   1 v1.52e
   2 Ubuntu
   3 18.04
