Subject: [Rd] strsplit (PR#424)
Message-ID: <200002081158.MAA19367@pubhealth.ku.dk>

In R.99, when you strsplit with a space (split=" ") as separator and
the string contains two consecutive spaces, "" is returned.

strsplit("  "," ")
returns
[[1]]
[1] "" ""
whereas it used to return character(0)
  Is this really useful like this?? It certainly messes all my code up. Jim
