[Gambas-user] Unable to split string containing ascii characters

This is getting ridiculous.

I have now written a function to strip out all the headers and replace
all Chr(&C0) and all Chr(&80) (the ascii AE's) with a plain text AE.
The string is now
"AE300AE318AE65AEBuddiesAE302AE319AE300AE319AE7AEclassybabe27_742AE301AE319AE303AE319AE301AE318AE300AE318AE65AEFriendsAE302AE319AE300AE319AE7AEleet.spikeAE301AE319AE303AE319AE301AE318AE303AE318AEAE300AE312AE313AE2AE314AE0AE301AE312AE300
AE312AE313AE6AE314AE-1AE301AE312AE300AE312AE313AE4AE314AE0AE301AE312AE300AE312AE313AE8AE314AE1AE301AE312AE300AE312AE313AE9AE314AE900AE301AE312AE303AE312AE"

Could someone please explain why then when I Split(thestring, "65AE") I
get a 161 position array, many of which are empty? Yet again, 65AE only
occurs 2 times in my string.

And if I blindly barge through the routine with TRY, I must at a later
point split the array at "7AE", yet when I encounter the name
classybabe27_742, I get back classybabe2, _, 42.

And honestly all this stripping and replacing characters is not a
preferred solution. It's an ugly hack to a simple problem, that I'm
sure is going to create problems later in this project. A project I've
already invested 2 weeks in, and am about to have to scrap if this
isn't possible.

Please tell me I'm doing something wrong here, because if this language
cannot even split a simple string....
