[VB6] Faster Split & Join (development)

[Merri]

tanjiunnyann: you should not use QuickSplitB for regular character data! Especially with Chinese you may get incorrect results at times, because a character may be understood "from the middle" of a character.

This is a theoretical example: say you're looking for character which hex representation is |2020|. You have two characters within a string: |2040| and |4020| - when put together as a byte stream, they appear as |4020|2040|. Now, when QuickSplitB is processing the data, you may get a in between result: |4020|2040| - this is something that cannot happen with QuickSplit, because it only works per character, not by byte. Thus they should not be compared to each other as they're doing a slightly different thing (except of course for curiosity).


Ellis Dee: I reused lngCount, because I didn't see a need for a new variable as lngCount was still working for the same purpose: being a counter. I could have, however, used the Limit variable too, it is passed ByVal so I could do whatever I'd like with it, thus the code could be For lngCount = 0 To Limit instead.
