String limitations?

[JohnOne]

Are there string limitations in autoit?

Ive been having some problems splitting a string using the native StringSplit() function, where an empty array is being returned and @error is set which = 0 (which I also cannot find reference to)

Thought it might be a scite limitation as the string was all on one line, so tried to use & _

for multiple lines, tried Tidy and recieved this error

!> File contains records longer than 4095 characters .. stopping process.

Here is the string which is one complete line, its quite long.

Any Idea what could be causing this?

This works fine for me. Imho the 4095 character limit is imposed by SciTE only, can be circumvented like shown below.

Thank you very much gentlemen.

I was searching for "limitations" in helpfile.

Your assistance has helped me finish the function.
