Origin Ver. 8 SR4

Hi,
could you please have a look at this basic string method?
Thanks,
Michael


void AdventurousToken()
{
	string strDate, strDay, strMonth, strYear;
	
	strDate = "20.07.t007"; // works
	strDay    = strDate.GetToken(0,'.');
	strMonth  = strDate.GetToken(1,'.');
	strYear   = strDate.GetToken(2,'.');
	printf("\nDay: %s, Month: %s, Year: %s\n", strDay, strMonth, strYear);

	strDate = "20.07.2007"; // seems not to work
	strDay    = strDate.GetToken(0,'.');
	strMonth  = strDate.GetToken(1,'.');
	strYear   = strDate.GetToken(2,'.');
	printf("Day: %s, Month: %s, Year: %s\n", strDay, strMonth, strYear);
}

strDate = "20.07.2007";
StringArray saTokens;
strDate.GetTokens(saTokens, '.');


doesn't work either.

Also ...

	strDate = "20.07.2007";
	int NumTokens=strDate.GetNumTokens('.');

assigns NumTokens the value 2

Thank you for reproducing!
I'm using GetToken() quite often and don't want to know how many dangerous errors it already has produced ...
Although such easy-to-use tokenizers are pretty nice to use and seldom found in other languages one should apply them carefully.
Thus, programming with OriginC remains exciting even during easy tasks

Here is another interesing quirk .....

int AdventurousToken()
{
	string strDate, strDay, strMonth, strYear;
	strDate = "20.07. 2007"; // Works ... Note the space before 2007
	strDay    = strDate.GetToken(0,'.');
	strMonth  = strDate.GetToken(1,'.');
	strYear   = strDate.GetToken(2,'.');
	printf("Day: %s, Month: %s, Year: %s\n", strDay, strMonth, strYear);
}

Thanks for reporint this, it was reported a long time ago but we somehow didnt fix this earlier.

It is tracker number 5645. We should certainly address this in SR5.
