SPLITSTR() not working as expected

[Moru]

Splitstr() seems to ignore empty fields when splitting a string. See below example

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

LOCAL array$[], n
SPLITSTR(";a;b;     ;d;;f;", array$[], ";")
FOREACH a$ IN array$[]
STDOUT n + ": " + a$ + "\n"
INC n
NEXT
KEYWAIT
END

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


Output:
0: a
1: b
2: d
3: f

Expected output:
0:
1: a
2: b
3: <lots of spaces>
4: d
5: <zero-length string>
6: f
7: <zero-length string>


When reading listings it would be preffered if the splitting doesn't skip empty fields since you have no idea if your fields are the correct ones then.

Oh dear, there is a huge bug with spaces in strings.
To all: UPDATE (in about 10 minutes)

This bug came with the first version of the precompiler. All multiple spaces in strings are swallowed!
