function parts = strsplit(str, splitstr, option)
%STRSPLIT2 Split string into pieces.   Modifed by GDE from original
%     to match argument order of a different version in xml_toolbox
%    This version has some minor additional functionality
%
%   STRSPLIT2(STR, SPLITSTR, OPTION) splits the string STR at every occurrence
%   of SPLITSTR and returns the result as a cell array of strings.  By default,
%   SPLITSTR is not included in the output.
%
%   STRSPLIT2(STR, SPLITSTR, OPTION) can be used to control how SPLITSTR is
%   included in the output.  If OPTION is 'include', SPLITSTR will be included
%   as a separate string.  If OPTION is 'append', SPLITSTR will be appended to
%   each output string, as if the input string was split at the position right
%   after the occurrence SPLITSTR.  If OPTION is 'omit', SPLITSTR will not be
%   included in the output.
