I'm trying to understand the difference between a empty string to a string with many blank entries between the delimiter. Consider ',,,,,,' = '' once the delimiter is removed . Yet Seven zero length entries were passed. How is that going to be handled????

Right, it's making a special case of '', which does seem rather inconsistent to me.
