Message: [QUOTE="castillo.bryan, post: 615810"] I was trying to write a utility method that work almost the same as the split method on String, that would work with java versions 1.3 or less, using Jakarta's ORO library. I though I implemented it according to the javadoc for the split method on String. But the expression "".split(",", 0), returns an array with 1 element, I was expecting an array with no elements. The expression ",".split(",", 0) returns an array with no elements. Is this a bug or am I reading the docs wrong? Code: String[] result = null; result = "".split(",", 0); System.out.println(result.length); result = ",".split(",", 0); System.out.println(result.length); System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version")); Output: 1 0 1.4.2_06 I thing the output should be: 0 0 1.4.2_06 [/QUOTE]
