note ibm1620 <p>This is nice. Couple of questions:</p> <p>What's the first arg to split()? It appears to be a single blank char. How does that work to split upon tab chars?</p> <p>In trySplitSliceLimit, wouldn't it be better to set LIMIT to 3, or in general to the number of fields you expect to extract?</p> <p>And one observation for the record: the indices can appear in any order. To extract LAST, FIRST, and CITY, you'd write <code>[2, 0, 5]</code></p> 1014517 1014521
