Subject: Re: String.split crashes my program

It reaches a block of code which causes it to become unresponsive. That 
to me indicates a crash. Maybe not to you, but this discussion isn't 
about semantics.

Here is my output:
C:\Users\Tomas\Ruby>ruby test.rb
Split this text

Then nothing. We sit here for ever while it "hasnt" crashed.

My Ruby version is:
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]
Running on Windows 7


The other split that works is:
def ProcessHeaders(sHead)
    hHeaders = {}
    sHead.each{|line|
  saHeadParts = line.split(/: /)
  hHeaders[saHeadParts[0]]=saHeadParts[1]
    }
    return hHeaders
end

For processing HTTP headers.

I appreciate that my Ruby coding conventions may not match the standard 
but I have been programming Ruby for only a day so far and I came here 
from C++, so I was just sticking to what I know. That can be refactored 
later, I'd rather have a working program than a conventional one.

I tried your scan example which did what I was trying to do, so if all 
else fails I will use that. Thanks for the help.
