Comma Seperated String

I was just wondering if there was a built in VFP function for converting a
Comma Seperated String variable into an array. Or if there was any other
function that dealt with a Comma Seperated String. I could make my own
functions but if they already exist I would rather use those.

ALINES()
Although the name suggests it seperates lines (CHR(13)+CHR(10)),
you can also set any other seperator.

I figured there was a function out there for this, the name explains why I
could not find it though.
