Hi all,

ran yesterday into a reproducible problem with the Split function:

<code>
s="##"
uName$="name"
uCompany$="company"
adr_adr1$="adr_adr1"
adr_adr2$="adr_adr2"
adr_nop$="adr_nop"
ucity$="city"
pays$="" '<-empty !!
adr_tel1$="tel1"
uEmail$="Email" adr_fax2$="4711"
adr_dep$="la la la la"
adr_no$="1234"

updatefields={SET "name"=[1]
SET "company"=[2]
SET "Address"=[3]
SET "Apt./Suite"=[4]
SET "zip"=[5]
SET "city"=[6]
SET "Addr Intl"=[7]
SET "Pax Office Phone"=[8]
SET "Pax Email"=[9]
SET "Pax Office Fax"=[10]
SET "state"=[11]
SET "Employee Number"=[12]}

x$= updatefields+S+uName$+S+uCompany$+S+_
adr_adr1$+S+adr_adr2$+S+adr_nop$+S+_
uCity$+S+pays$+S+adr_tel1$+s+uEmail$+s+_
adr_fax2$+S+adr_dep$+S+adr_no$
Print x$
Print "---------------"
updatefields=Split(x$, S)

For i%=0 To Ubound(updatefields)
Print updatefields(i%)
Next
<\code>

Because of 1 empty entry we get the situation that 2 separators "####" can be found in the string and Split is not able to handle it.

We got results like this :
...SET "Employee Number"=[12]namecompanyadr_adr1adr_adr2adr_nopcity##tel1##Email##4711##la la la la##1234#tel1##Email##4711##la la la la##1234tel1Email4711la la la la1234

Exactly at the point where there were two separators but no value between them, Split started to become messy.
