Default splitting strings


I have multiple strings like the following...

"ITEM 1000 20 X4"

I want to split the string into an array. So I did the following...

tmp = split(line)

Now this is the array data...

tmp[0] = "ITEM"
tmp[1] = " "
tmp[2] = " "
tmp[3] = "100"
tmp[4] = " "
...and so on.

I want to get rid of the blank array points; tmp[1], tmp[2], tmp[4
such that the array will read like this...

tmp[0] = "ITEM"
tmp[1] = "100"
tmp[2] = "20"
...and so on.

Is there a way to split strings on "white space". I only ask becaus
the strings I will be digesting are of variable length. I can program
do-while-loop to count the number of blank entries and work around, bu
I figured there had to be an easier way to do that.

THANKS TONS
