Anybody know why "x".split(/(x)/).length returns 0 in IE?

In IE, "x".split(/(x)/).length returns 0

In开发者_JS百科 Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera, it returns 3.

Does anybody know the reason why? If possible, a reference link will be greatly appreciated.

I believe that it is a IE regex implementation issue, but I can't find any document about that.


You're correct that there are implementation issues. IE both ignores empty values and capture blocks within regular expressions.

So for

"foo".split(/o/)

IE gives

[f]

where the other browsers give

["f","",""]

and when you add the capturing:

"foo".split(/(o)/)

IE performs the same, but the others add the captured delimiter to the resulting array to give

["f","o","","o",""]

So unfortunately you probably either need to avoid using split, or code around these issues.


Here for example http://blog.stchur.com/2007/03/28/split-broken-in-ie/


I had the same problem with the broken IE implementation of split.

Here's a small library file that fixed the problem perfectly.
