Message: [QUOTE="Virgil Green, post: 616030"] I submit that the definition of "trailing" implies that there is something to "trail" and that the "something" must be at least one pattern match. The documentation indicating that empty strings are removed is *only* predicated upon those empty strings be *trailing* empty strings. What does you example empty string trail behind? Anyway, you may choose to use any definition of "trailing" that justifies your conclusion that there is a bug or that the documentation is ambiguous. I will continue to use the one that indicates there is something (a matched token) to be trailing behind, the one that fits the documented (as I read it) and actual behavior of the class. [/QUOTE]
