String.split on empty strings in FlexSim 2018.0.5

The issue reported in this thread is fixed in FlexSim 2018.0.5, but there is another backwards compatibility issue with the same method introduced in 2018.0.5:

string s = "";
return s.split(";");
// FlexSim 2018.0.4: []
// FlexSim 2018.0.5: [""]
FlexSim 18.0.5

18.1.1 includes the bug fixes in 18.0.5.

Also, string.split(";") on an empty string is supposed to return [""]

Thank you. The point is that the behavior of the method has changed from 18.0.4 to 18.0.5, and this change creates subtle bugs in the existing code base.

That's why it is listed under "backwards compatibility notes" in the release notes.

The same change that fixed the other issue also fixed this bug.
