[Gambas-user] Mystery with file.load and regexp

[Fernando Cabral]

I have found and worked around the problem. When you do the following:

*Dim Expressions as string[] =
Split(File.Load("/home/fernando/.config/libreoffice/4/user/basic/indesejaveis.txt"),
"\n") *

The last item pushed into *Expressions* is an empty string ("") even though
it DOES NOT exist
in the file. So, the expressions are compiled one after the other til the
last one, that is empty. Then the program crashes.

So it seems there is a bug in the *load.file()*. Bug that I was able to
compensate for by adding the option *True* in the call to the functions
*split()*.
