note johngg <blockquote><i>preserves multiple spaces in the file name</i></blockquote> <p>In case others are puzzled let's share the enlightenment and explain what is going on. The reason spaces are preserved is that the file name field is never actually [doc://split]. First, the line is broken into nine fields.</p> <code> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 file name 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ </code> <p>Then the last field from the first [doc://split] operation is reversed and broken into 10 fields.</p> <code> 81 71 61 51 41 31 21 11 01 eman elif ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ </code> <p>Finally the last field from the second [doc://split] operation is reversed to obtain the file name.</p> <code> file name </code> <p>Note that spaces <b>in</b> the file name will be preserved but if the file name has leading and/or trailing spaces the method fails as they will be lost.</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
