Wrong result with the "split_with(string ...)" operator

[ptaillandier]

Describe the bug Test the following expression: write "333%444" split_with "%%";

It should returns a list composed of only one element ["333%444"]. Instead GAMA returns ['333','444']

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• GAMA version: git, 1.8.2

Actually no. If you look at the doc, it rightly says : Returns a list containing the sub-strings (tokens) of the left-hand operand delimited by each of the characters of the right-hand operand To use the whole string as a delimiter, you have to use the second form of split_with with a boolean argument set to true. i.e: write "333%444" split_with ("%%", true);

[ptaillandier]

Very interesting. However, for me, the default behavior should be "333%444" split_with ("%%", true) to be consistent with older versions of GAMA and because it seems to be a lot more natural for modelers who are not computer scientists :) .

Should I mention who implemented this operator like this in 2018 ?? 🤣

2018 .... it is very recent considering the long history of GAMA 😅

Maybe. But the important thing to consider is the who ^^

[AlexisDrogoul]

So I let you decide whether to close it or change your implementation 😀

Let's close this issue -- everything works as intended !
