  17. Hello -
  18.  
  19. I have been trying out split.icn, a procedure contributed by Hamish Lawson
  20. in 1996, which converts a string into a list using a cset of characters as
  21. delimiter.
  22.  
  23. I have found that it will not work if the French colon ('|') is the
  24. delimiter, although with other characters it will work. I cannot see
  25. anything in the code to explain this. Are there characters that have special
  26. functions if they are within strings? I tried '\|' instead of '|' but this
  27. did not work.
  28.  
  29. Regards
  30.
