Hi, well only my personal theory: Parse will filter the separation sequence for
you.

Here parse doesn't find anything before the separation sequence -> ""
> >> parse/all "^/ " "^/"
> == ["" " "]
Same here and a space later.
> >> parse/all " ^/" "^/"
> == [" "] ;why is not the result [" " ""] ??? Maybe
Here parse finds a space and than the separation sequence AND end-of-string.
Parse stops at end-of-string, that's why you only get the " " sequence as
result. Robert
