+-## FIXME: this file is here to avoid conflicts with new Octave versions. Matlab
+-##        has recently added strplit function (used to exist in Octave only) but
+-##        their syntax is not compatible with ours. Rather than timing the
+-##        release of each octave forge package that used strsplit, a copy of the
+-##        old version was placed as private. Once the new Octave version is
+-##        released, this file can be removed, and the calls to strsplit fixed.

+-## @deftypefn  {Function File} {[@var{cstr}] =} strsplit (@var{s}, @var{sep})
+-## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{cstr}] =} strsplit (@var{s}, @var{sep}, @var{strip_empty})
+-## Split the string @var{s} using one or more separators @var{sep} and return
+-## a cell array of strings.  Consecutive separators and separators at
+-## boundaries result in empty strings, unless @var{strip_empty} is true.
+-## The default value of @var{strip_empty} is false.
+-##
+-## 2-D character arrays are split at separators and at the original column
+-## boundaries.
+-##
+-## Example:
+-##
+-## @example
+-## @group
+-## strsplit ("a,b,c", ",")
+-##       @result{}
+-##           @{
+-##             [1,1] = a
+-##             [1,2] = b
+-##             [1,3] = c
+-##           @}
+-##
+-## strsplit (["a,b" ; "cde"], ",")
+-##       @result{}
+-##           @{
+-##             [1,1] = a
+-##             [1,2] = b
