[jira] [Created] (LANG-1399) Split fails on word boundaries

Devika created LANG-1399:
----------------------------

             Summary: Split fails on word boundaries
                 Key: LANG-1399
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1399
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: lang.*
    Affects Versions: 3.x
         Environment: I'm working with the latest version of Apache Commons lib. with Java 8
            Reporter: Devika


StringUtils.split does not behave correctly when the split is to be performed on word boundary characters ("\b"). Steps to produce the bug:

String string = "foo<bar>foofoo";
String[] st=StringUtils.split(string, "\b");

Expected o/p:

foo
<
bar
>
foofoo

 

Actual o/p:

foo<bar>foofoo

The issue seems to be with how zero-width separators are being handled. Note that Java library's String.split gives the expected output.

Thanks.
