Re: discussion: What should split( /PATTERN/, EXPR, 0 ) return better?

It's much more efficient if you just don't split() if you don't want anything from its result. Why make the call at all if you want nothing returned?

Do I want anything or something depends on a variable (input). Don't you mean dynamic variable? See I can say silly stuff too. What are your opinion? m//atch if you want to match, split if you want to split, or mysplit if neither satisfies thats programming	[reply]
