String Manipulation

[rickster]

I am running a virtual HP 48GX on Emu48: I'm trying to develop an FRP character generator.
I have strings like "ABC|BC|JKLMN|WXYZ". (Each capital letter represents a specification
for a PC skill: we are to pick one group at random and give the PC those skills.) I need
to delete the '|' bar and replace it with "\" \"", and wrap it in a list, so my object will read
{ "ABC" "BC" "JKLMN" "WXYZ" }. Now I can call DUP SIZE DIE GET on the list to get a
random group...

But I don't know how to insert that string in place of '|'. Any ideas?
Would it be easier to just start with { "ABC" "BC" "JKLMN" "WXYZ" }?
