Hi,

This *is* the correct behaviour. There were several discussions on this topic in the past (you can search archive for more insight).

split always returns n+1 tokens where n is a number of separators. This is deterministic and allows to reconstruct the original sequence.

Then for the sake of completeness it would be very nice if this could be made clear in the documentation. Thanks in advance for the attention. Regards, Luca
