I still haven't seen a solution to this which correctly handles the following boundary conditions: (for these examples, the pipe character is the delimiter, and we expect to return a sequence of sequences ) 1) null string in front of the first delimiter. "|two|three|four|five" should return { {}, "two", "three", "four", "five" } 2) adjacent delimiters with null string between them. "one|||five" should return { "one", {}, {}, {}, "five" } 3) sequence ending in a delimiter. "one|two|three|four|" should return { "one", "two", "three", "four", {} }
