In the following, why is word -1 of a_url "jpg" and word -1 of the_url the whole file name?

Hey John,

I confirm.  It happens on my U.S. 10.8.2 system with 'Word-Break' set to 'Standard' in the language and text prefs.

That's really freaky...  I see no discernible differentiator in your sample.


Same behavior here.

The period behave as a word delimiter if there is a non alphabetic character just before or just after it. example : "Bush2.jpg", "Napoleon.3rd"
It doesn't when it is enclosed between alphabetic characters. example : "Yvan Kœ.jpg"

My understanding is that we aren't supposed to enclose a digit in the middle of a word.
