strsplit

[Juan Pablo Carbajal]

Hi,

Is the following behavior correct in strsplit?

strsplit("/usr/local/share/octave/",filesep())
ans =
{
  [1,1] =
  [1,2] = usr
  [1,3] = local
  [1,4] = share
  [1,5] = octave
  [1,6] =
}

strsplit("/usr/local/share/octave/",filesep(),true)
ans =
{
  [1,1] =
  [1,2] = usr
  [1,3] = local
  [1,4] = share
  [1,5] = octave
  [1,6] =
}

strsplit("/usr/local/share/octave/",filesep(),false)
ans =
{
  [1,1] =
  [1,2] = usr
  [1,3] = local
  [1,4] = share
  [1,5] = octave
  [1,6] =
}


The output puts an empty cell element when the matching delimiter is
at the beginning and at the end.
This causes geometry ADD_PKG script to fail, so the behavior changed
not long ago (I remember some mails about this, ml compatibility?).
