I'm sorry, but the ff disturbs me (only):
irb(main):014:0> "testing".split("test")
=> ["", "ing"]
irb(main):015:0> " ".split("test")
=> [" "]
irb(main):016:0> "".split("test")
=> []
Also, I cannot seem to get just an array of empty string [""] using split.
I'm ashame to ask sir Matz, so can anyone kindly give me an example?
