strsplit behavior

I need to split a string that contains multiples lines into an array where each array element contains one line. Using array()=strsplit(source_string,&crlf) gives me an array with extra lines between each original line.

So if the original string was

1
2
3

Click to expand...

the array gets filled like this

array(0)="1"
array(1)=&crlf
array(2)="2"
array(3)=&crlf
array(4)="3"
array(5)=&crlf

Click to expand...

I see similar &crlf "inserted" behavior if the separator string is more than one character.

Is this normal behavior? Being how the &crlf is the separator I won't expect them to be part of the result.

This can be worked around but thought I'd ask if others see the same behavior.

Hi kolbe,

the problem may be that CRLF is a combination of "carriage return" and "line feed".
As a workaround you can remove one part of these within the origininal string before splitting it into an array:
