Expression Split function does not recognize full stop character

Ignition

Using the split function in expression with the '.' character return a empty dataset

split("[default]Process/P_01/INLETW/02_WAP/12PC05/Sts/Value.EngHigh",".")

split("[default]Process/P_01/INLETW/02_WAP/12PC05/Sts/Value.EngHigh","/")

This looks like a bug.

Using Ignition Version 8.1.43 (b2024082010)

The split() expression splits on a regex, not a character. The . is not interpreted as a .

It works if you escape the . like so:

split("[default]Process/P_01/INLETW/02_WAP/12PC05/Sts/Value.EngHigh","\\.")
