LEN seems linked to issue with array referencing

[circular]

Hi, I'm enjoying SmallBASIC and wanted to share this issue in case it's relevant.

Version: SmallBasic FLTK 12.23, 7 Sep 2021
OS: Linux / AppImage

As an example, running the example here, an error is thrown:

https://smallbasic.github.io/pages/features.html

Code:

tload "/etc/passwd", buffer
for row in buffer
  split row, ":", fields()
  if (len(fields) > 0) then
    local user
    user.name = fields(0)
    user.passwd = fields(1)
    user.userId = fields(2)
    user.groupId = fields(3)
    users << user
  fi
next row
? users

Error: RTE-ERROR AT untitled.bas:7 *
Description:
Array: Index '1' out of range. (Max = 1)

(Note: I changed the HTML codes for less-than, to << in the code to get it to work)

As a workaround, I changed LEN to UBOUND and the code worked fine.

Thanks for reporting this. The problem was SPLIT with empty input was returning an array with one empty item. It should return LEN(fields) == 0
