Hi, I find this behavior unexpected: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > strsplit(c("a,b;c","d;e,f"),c(",",";")) [[1]] [1] "a" "b;c"
[[2]] [1] "d" "e,f" --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I thought that it should be identical to this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > strsplit(c("a,b;c","d;e,f"),"[,;]") [[1]] [1] "a" "b" "c" [[2]] [1] "d" "e" "f" --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Is this a bug or did I misunderstand the docs?
