Subject: [ruby-talk:17780] Re: Regex Groups in String#split (Re: Array#sort!  returns nil when array empty)

> pigeon% ruby -e 'p ("a b c :d e f".split(/:(\S.*)|\s+/) - [""])'
> ["a", "b", "c", "d e f"] pigeon%

With
1.6.3 (2001-03-19) [i386-cygwin]

ruby -e 'p ("a b c :d e f".split(/:(\S.*)\s+/) - [""])'
I get
["a b c ", "d e", "f"]

and not 
["a", "b", "c", "d e f"]

Typo? Version?
