Why is this??? Split() uses the regular expression engine, and the "." character has special meaning in regular expressions (specifically, it means "any single character"). Since what you're doing doesn't really require the flexibility of a regular expression, you could use explode() instead of split() (the rest of the line would remain the same). If you're set on using split(), you should escape the .
