[Jython-bugs] Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

[Krishnamoorthy, M. <Mut...@fi...>]

According to documentation, the method splitlines() tokenizes a string
based on newline character(s). I tried this with the following string
(this string may look strange, but it has significance in IBM WebSphere,
and I tried it as part of a WebSphere administration script I was
putting together):

My string variable nodes:

wsadmin>nodes
'adawa302BHN(cells/bhn/nodes/adawa302BHN|node.xml#Node_1)\nadawa302BHNDm
gr(cells/bhn/nodes/adawa302BHNDmgr|node.xml#Node_1)\nadawa303BHN(cells/b
hn/nodes/adawa303BHN|node.xml#Node_1)'

The method split() works correctly when I use newline character as
separator:

wsadmin>nodes.split('\n')
['adawa302BHN(cells/bhn/nodes/adawa302BHN|node.xml#Node_1)',
'adawa302BHNDmgr(cells/bhn/nodes/adawa302BHNDmgr|node.xml#Node_1)',
'adawa303BHN(cells/bhn/nodes/adawa303BHN|node.xml#Node_1)']

The method splitlines() does not produce the same list output as
split('\n') does:

wsadmin>nodes.splitlines()
['adawa', '', '', '', '', '', '', 'cells', 'bhn', 'nodes', 'adawa', '',
'', '', '', '', '', 'node', 'xml', '', 'ode', '', '', '', 'adawa', '',
'', '', '', '', '', 'mgr', 'cells', 'bhn', 'nodes', 'adawa', '', '', '',
'', '', '', 'mgr', 'node', 'xml', '', 'ode', '', '', '', 'adawa', '',
'', '', '', '', '', 'cells', 'bhn', 'nodes', 'adawa', '', '', '', '',
'', '', 'node', 'xml', '', 'ode', '', '']

Thanks for any help...
