This is perfectly normal;
otherwise the a: array of string is seen as an open array, which is
different from a dynamical array.

Strutils you mean ?
I would like to add this function later on, I think it's useful indeed.
You may want to consider creating a WideString version, and a version
which returns an nil-terminated array of PChars.
Also, start by allocating in blocks of 10 fields. Reallocating for each
field is memory intensive. At the end you can do a setlength call with
the correct number of fields.
Just some ideas.
Michael.
