Is there an easy way to convert a long string into an array?

[chuck72352]

I can convert a long string into a 1-d array by parsing and using build array, but I would like to know if there is a function to make this easier.

For example:

from/   aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbccccccccdddddddd         (string of ascii)

to/       an array that is 1-d with each element having eight characters

          aaaaaaaa

          bbbbbbbb

          cccccccc

          dddddddd

Thank you.

Try something like this:

 

(If you can guarantee that the string length is an integer multiple of 8, you an drop the two triangular modes in the upper left. ;))
