TStringList.ExtractStrings doesn't return empty columns

[krzynio]

I use ExtractStrings for parsing a line of text in csv format.
Generally works fine but when a column is empty ExtractStrings doesn't return empty string but next value and number of returned items is reduced.
I.E. the string: 123,456,,,789 will return only 3 items instead of 5.

I haven't checked but have you set AddEmptyStrings parameter to true ?

Ive checked (those online compilers are a bless) Seems indeed to work as expected,

Code: [Select]

  retval := ExtractStrings([','], [], '123,456,,,789', SL, true);
retval = 5, and SL.Count = 5;
