Salut Robi,

file:///usr/local/share/gambas2/help/help/lang/split.html

says : 
Split ( String AS String [ , Separators AS String , Escape AS String ,
IgnoreVoids AS Boolean ] )

hope that gambas3 does also.

I think your received data are ending sometimes with a ','
so Split entered an empty Item.
