[kepler-users] string splitter

[Madhusudan Gujral]

Hi Corinna,

I passed the splitter results to dsplay actor. What I observe if following
{"6/19/2009", "CEW", "", "6/10/2009", "6", "1", "1000", "52.5", "31", "1", "1", "1.017410714", "0.625589286", "1.3125", "", " "}

It has elements 14 'No Space' and 15 'Space' displayed correctly. When I used Array Element actor to display the values for element 14, 15, it does not complain, but there is nothing to show. 

My guess is that the problem is related to post processing (processing the empty tokens).

Thanks
--Madhu

Subject: [kepler-users] string splitter

Hi again,

when I am running this line of data:
6/19/2009,CEW,,6/10/2009,6,1,1000,52.5,31,1,1,1.017410714,0.625589286,1.3125,,

through the string splitter, splitting it on ',' it omits the last empty
string, i.e. does not pass an empty string. Trying to read the array
element in position 14 throws an error rather than returning an empty
string, which is what I had expected.

I can work around it by just adding something to end of the line but is
that an otherwise meaningful behavior?

Corinna
