In the programming language I currently write, using the seperator string somewhere in the string I'm parsing gives a new entry. So a string containing only a line seperator char/pattern would have 2 entries, which in this case would mean 2 lines. As I see now, this is handled differently in vim.
Sorry to beat this really dead horse, but it's not Vim which handles this differently! End-of-line has always been a terminator, not a separator (as Tony explained earlier). I've had a closer look at the file you attached: - All lines end with CR LF, except for three lines. - Two lines end with CR only. - One line (the last) ends with LF only. John
