Except in other xtalk languages, including HyperCard where the custom started. ;)
"Items" are everything in between commas (or whatever the current delimiter is.) That includes carriage returns too.
but with one exception:
There can be a blank item between item delimiters
"dog,,cat" -- three items first is dog, second is empty, third is cat
or between the start of string and the first delimiter
",dog,cat" -- three items first is empty, second is dog, third is cat
BUT there can't be a blank between the last item delimiter and the end of string
"dog,cat," -- only two items, first is dog, second is cat
I still think this is inconsistent .... though Rob Cozen's description (drawing the analogy with lines and cr placement) helped a lot.
