Hey guys, I have one string in which I want to split into list from there where I should provide character. I'll explain in details

*`For example 1`*

```    val string = "Birth Control"
    
    val searchText = "n"```
*`Output`*

```    ["Birth Co", "trol"]```
*`For example 2`*

```    val string = "Bladder Infection"

    val searchText = "i"```
*`Actual Output`*

```    ["Bladder ", "nfect", "on"]```
*`Expect Output`*

```    ["Bladder ", "nfection"]```
I tried some code but *`example 1`* is working fine but *`example 2`* is not because I only want to split first occurrence.

```    val splitList = title?.split(searchText, ignoreCase = true)?.toMutableList()
    splitList?.remove(searchText)```
Can someone guide me how to solve this idiomatic way. Thanks

there should also be a limit param on .split to specify the max number of substrings returned
```"Bladder Infection".split("i", ignoreCase = true, limit = 2)```
-&gt; `[Bladder , nfection]`
