Nope, there are no tabs in the document. Without replacing the pipes, it
returns a single character for each array element, including the pipe.
Very strange.

Without seeing the source document or what the evidence is for the second

of is that your source document has a mixture of pipes and tabs as the
delimiter.

Doing the replace pipe with tab then means you have all delimited in tabs.

But this is a wild guess!!

Subject: Is String.split() broken?

I'm probably just not understanding how this is supposed to work, so
maybe someone can set me straight here.

Why does this work:
String[] fields = errRecord.replace("|", "\t").split("\t");

While this does not:
String[] fields = errRecord.split("|");

The pipe character (|) is 0x7c, and it's the same in the input document
as when I type it from the keyboard. The input document itself is a PC
ANSI file, with CCSID = 819, sitting on an Windows share. I'm running
Java 1.6.0_24. It does the same thing in Java 1.6.0_23.
