Defining a custom splitter character

[lpanebr]

I was going to post a question on how coul I achieve that but insted here's what I did.
Extremely simple but makes it easier to choose what character should separate the sugested items... (I needed it to be ";")

Hope it's of use...

ADDED:
splitter = ','; //define the custom splitter char

CHANGED:

function getUserInputToMatch(s) {
...
fields = s.split(splitter);
...
}

function getUserInputBase() {
...
if ((lastComma = s.lastIndexOf(splitter)) != -1) {
    a = a.replace(/^(.*\splitter[ \r\n\t\f\s]*).*$/i,'$1');
...
}

function runMatchingLogic(userInput, standalone) {
...
    if (siw) {
        siw.lastUserInput = userInput;
        siw.revisedCollection = tempCollection.join(splitter).split(splitter);
        collectionIndex[userInput] = tempCollection.join(splitter).split(splitter);
    }
    if (standalone || siw.buildIndex) {
        collectionIndex[uifc] = tempCollection.join(splitter).split(splitter);
        if (siw) siw.buildIndex = false;
    }
}//runMatchingLogic

function activateCurrentSmartInputMatch() {
...
        theString = (baseValue ? baseValue : "") + addedValue + splitter + " ";
...
}

sorry..  this has a bug on the regular expressions.. I'm trying to fix it...

Could you use:

var RegularExpression  =  new RegExp("^(.*"+splitter+"[ \r\n\t\f\s]*).*$","i");
a = a.replace(RegularExpression,'$1');

Granted, I haven't tested it, but it seems like it would work...
