Sorry Gordon,

Found another bug.

'HELLO'.slpit('');

returns:
=[
"HELLO"
]

Should return:

["H", "E", "L", "L", "O"]

For me it's ok because you do not have the " separator in the 'HELLO' string so you get the same string as the result.

No, that's an empty string. A " separator would be '"' (a double quote enclosed in single quotes)

Correct behavior is to split a word up into letters like Sacha said - try it in any js console.
```
'HELLO'.split('');
["H", "E", "L", "L", "O"]
```

Syntax

str.split([separator][, limit])

Parameters

separator

Specifies the character(s) to use for separating the string. The separator is treated as a string or a regular expression. **If separator is omitted, the array returned contains one element consisting of the entire string**. If separator is an empty string, str is converted to an array of characters.

So you are right.

Also

"""
"HELLO".split();
=["", "H", "E", "L", "L", "O"]
//["HELLO"] expected
'''"

Thanks - I'll try and get a fix for this in the next version.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
