Im a bit confused about the behavior of split and splitlines (tried both).
I have this code

void main() {

 //Validator val = new Validator();

 byte [] wholeFile = file.read("C:\\temp");
 char [] [] lines = file.splitlines((char[])wholeFile);

 for (int i = 0;i < lines.length;i++) {
  puts((char[])lines[i]);
 }

 //val.Validate(lines,seperator);
}

And in the file temp, I have

this, is, a , comma, seperated
list, for , you, to seperate
more, stuff, here, for you,
you, silly, oaf

What im getting is for lines[0]

this, is, a , comma, seperated
list, for , you, to seperate
more, stuff, here, for you,
you, silly, oaf

lines[1]

list, for , you, to seperate
more, stuff, here, for you,
you, silly, oaf

lines[2]

more, stuff, here, for you,
you, silly, oaf

lines[3]

you, silly, oaf

Is this the intended behavior ?

It separates each line in the file. Remember that the slices aren't
null-terminated. Use:
puts(toStringz((char[])lines[i]));

Thanks V, another quick question;

I have a loop that looks something like

char [] [] elements;

loop {
    char [] line = read (...);
    elements ~= line;
}

how would i reset elements, so that it contained no elements ?

Also, what happent to the IRC server ??

elements = null;

The IRC server is back up now, sorry about that! There was a problem with the ISP, it was beyond my control.
