assert s.split() instanceof String[]
assert ['username;language,like', 'mrhaki,Groovy;yes'] == s.split()  // Default split on whitespace.
assert ['username', 'language', 'like', 'mrhaki', 'Groovy', 'yes'] == s.split(/(;|,|\n)/)  // Split argument is a regular expression.

}

assert s.tokenize() instanceof List
assert ['username;language,like', 'mrhaki,Groovy;yes'] == s.tokenize()  // Default tokenize on whitespace.
assert ['username', 'language', 'like', 'mrhaki', 'Groovy', 'yes'] == s.tokenize("\n;,")  // Argument is a String with all tokens we want to tokenize on.
