In this case, we're counting delimiters - not items, so it I'm sure it should be the number of items -1, unless we have a trailing delimiter, when the item count and delimiter count are the same, hence the need for "& null" or testing the last char.

This is how it seems to work on my setup (rev 2.7, Mac OS X):

1,2,3 = 3 items, 2 delimiters
,1,2,3 = 4 items (one empty), 3 delimiters
1,2,3, = 3 items, 3 delimiters - Rev doesn't count the implied empy item at the end.


Cheers,

Mark

Also, shouldn't the count be
'the number of items in textStr -1?
As I indicated in a previous post, it depends on what you are trying to
count when you use items a measure.

If the last char of a string is the asciiChar, then the number of items will be one less than the true count, however, if null is appended, the count
will be equal to the true count.
