[Gambas-devel] gb3 Split() problem

[Kadaitcha Man]

Gb3 does not correctly split when the separator is a "\r\n" combination:

  Dim aText As String
  Dim bText As String
  Dim aLines As String[]
  Dim bLines As String[]

  aText = File.Load("Text1")
  bText = Replace(aText, "\n", "\r\n")

  aLines = Split(aText, "\n")
  bLines = Split(bText, "\r\n")

The gb3 documentation states, "Separators is a list of sperators
characters", and one of the examples given uses " \n", however gb3
does correctly split a "\r\n" combination. Instead, gb3 returns an
extra void. Using the IgnoreVoid parameter is not an option because
the code is dealing with RFC 3977 compliant data, which uses
"\r\n\r\n" to signify paragraph marks; using IgnoreVoid means that the
paragraph marks are completely lost and cannot be reconstructed.

Screenshot-aLines (String[]).png shows the expected result for:

    bLines = Split(bText, "\r\n")

Screenshot-bLines (String[]).png shows the actual result.
