Try this in the message window (that's three commas with nothing betweeen
them before the word "bubba"):
temp = ",,,bubba"
put temp.item.count
-- 4
Perfect. Love it.
Now try this (that's three space characters in place of the commas):
temp = " bubba"
the itemDelimiter = SPACE
put temp.item.count
-- 1
No, no, no. That's not right. My itemDelimiter is a space character. The
item count should be 4, just as it is with a comma delimiter.
If you access the elements of the item array, though:
put temp.item[1]
-- ""
put temp.item[2]
-- ""
put temp.item[3]
-- ""
put temp.item[4]
-- "bubba"
Confound it! That's what I want, but the count property is lying to me.
What gives?!
