[dart-misc] Is this a bug? Dart 1.20 Dev 10.1

[Steve Lympany]

main() {
List SL=''.split('_');
int len=SL.length;
print("SL= $SL");

print("Length = $len");


outputs :

SL= []

Length = 1


The length should be zero.

cheers
Steve

Nope, it's just a list with one element, an empty String?

Try 'a'.split('_');

Hi,

Ah. Thanks. It's the print that confused me :

List pp=[''];
print (pp)

Outputs

[], with no quotes.

An empty list prints identically. 😐

Cheers
Steve

You almost took an example straight out of the split() documentation:

https://api.dartlang.org/stable/1.20.1/dart-core/String/split.html

var string = '';
string.split(''); // []
string.split("a"); // ['']
