Why not defining a single method STR_SPLIT(string, separator)? It could return an array of strings (similar to String.split(String regex)).

Using STR_SPLIT("file.json", ".")[1] would return "json".
Using STR_SPLIT("2024/10/23", "/")[0] would return "2024".

You would even have much more possibilities.

I am just unsure of using a regex or just a simple string as separator is better.
