stringplit() on white space

[nitro322]

I want to split a string into chunks using whitespace. StringSplit() seems like the obvious choice, but it doesn't behave as expected. Eg:

$test = '12 34  56   78 90'
$test2 = stringsplit($test, ' ')
_arraydisplay($test2, 'test')

I would expect to get back:

[0]|5

[1]|12

[2]|34

[3]|56

[4]|78

[5]|90

Instead, I get this back:

[0]|11

[1]|12

[2]|34

[3]|

[4]|56

[5]|

[6]|

[7]|78

[8]|

[9]|

[10]|

[11]|90

I can take a guess at why it's going this, but I don't think this should be considered "desired" output. I'm choosing to split on spaces; why would I want any of the elements to be nothing but a space?

Any suggestions on how I can make this work right? Are there any other split/explode functions that will do what I need?

Thanks.

Hi,

The StringSplit() will split the string with given separator

But in your case, you set as saparater one character of space ( Char(20) ), it's split as suposed by all founded space characters...

try this:

#include <Array.au3>

$Str = '12 34  56   78    90'
&#03ÔÝHÝ[ÔYÑ^XÙJ  ÌÍÔÝ    ÌÎNÊ ÌLÜÊÊIÌÎNË   ÌÎNÈ ÌÎNÊB33cµ7ÆD'"Ò7G&æu7ÆBb33cµ7G"Âb33²b33² ¥ô'&F7Æb33cµ7¥ÑÉȤoÝ÷ Ù±!?Û¯z·¦¢÷¶¥¢_®Å©©éèÂ+wöˬxz1¥±!=¿lêò¢çëÞf¤y§îËb¢wè®+g¢Û¬x¶¸§*eÖ­jYZºÚ"µÍÚ[ÛYH    Ð^K]LÉÝÂÌÍÔÝH   ÌÎNÌLÍ

Thanks for the suggestion, MsCreatoR. I had actually thought about using a regex function shortly after posting, and came up with this:

$temp = stringregexp($line, "\S+", 3)

Pretty close to your suggestion, though a slightly different approach. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I do appreciate it.
