stri_split_fixed about stringi HOT 6 CLOSED

//To determine: which option is better/more logical/etc
strsplit("lalal","l")
[[1]]
[1] "" "a" "a"
//or
stri_split("lalal","l")
[[1]]
[1] "" "a" "a" ""
// The R developers are aware of this:
// Note that final empty strings are not produced:
strsplit(paste(c("", "a", ""), collapse="#"), split="#")[[1]]
// [1] "" "a"

//But why the last empty space is treated less serious? If we get first empty space, why not last one too?

--edit--
str_split works like this:

str_split("lalal","l")
[[1]]
[1] "" "a" "a" ""

//added one line into stri_split, so now it works like strsplit (if last element of character vector is "" it won't be returned)

from stringi.

maybe we could omit all empty strings by default, but also introduce an option that forces leaving them as they are?

from stringi.

stri_split(NA_character_,"A")
[[1]]
[1] "N" ""

TODO: correct this wrong behavior

Please note that str_split has additional, very useful argument: n - it returns a matrix with n columns :-)

from stringi.

`> str_split(c("ala","ma kota"),"a",2)
[[1]]
[1] "" "l"

[[2]]
[1] "m" " kot" `
Nope, it's still list.

That won't be so hard to do. I'll do this tomorrow :)
