Hi Dennis
I tested Split on Mac OSX 10.4.9 using a tweak of your example and I
think Split is working correctly.
dim s As String
dim arr() As String
dim found As Integer
arr = Split(s)
msgbox Join(arr, " ")
If you join the strings you'll see that all the words are there. As
Steve suggested, I think the problem is that the debugger is only
showing you the last line of multiline text in string array elements.
The words after EndOfLine ARE really there, you just don't see them
in the debugger.
Split is very useful the way it is, but a nice enhancement might be
the ability to specify either "white space" or multiple separate
characters as the delimiter.
