}
\arguments{
\item{string}{input character vector}
\item{pattern}{pattern to split up by, as defined by a
POSIX regular expression. See the ``Extended Regular
Expressions'' section of \code{\link{regex}} for details.
If \code{NA}, returns original string. If \code{""}
splits into individual characters.}
\item{n}{number of pieces to return. Default (Inf) uses
all possible split positions. If n is greater than the
number of pieces, the result will be padded with empty
strings.}
}
\value{
character matrix with \code{n} columns.
