What's with the empty strings there? Is it saying that there are empty strings at position 3 and 7 in the input string and that they correspond to separators 0 and 1? This doesn't make sense to me at all. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 04:27, 27 February 2011 (UTC) |

What is going on here?
So I see that we have this for some sample output:
['a', [1, 1], '', [0, 3], 'b', [2, 6], '', [1, 7], 'c']
What's with the empty strings there? Is it saying that there are empty strings at position 3 and 7 in the input string and that they correspond to separators 0 and 1? This doesn't make sense to me at all. --Mwn3d 04:27, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
