subStrings:'|' vs subStrings:'||'

Hi all.

*' Middle-left-cell || style="width: 14em;" | Middle-center-cell ||
Middle-right-cell' self subStrings:'|'
' Middle-left-cell || style="width: 14em;" | Middle-center-cell ||
Middle-right-cell' self subStrings:'||'*

inspect both, they are identical.

Is this expected behavior?

Looking at the method:
char := sourceStream next.

is the "problem" in that a match is had for the single pipe character.

Is there a better way to split that string along double pipes '||'  ?

thank you in advance.

I found a workaround:

(self copyReplaceTokens: '||' with:'@') subStrings:'@'

Where the copyReplaceTokens: with: message replaces the double pipes. then
the subStrings:'@' gives me the result I was looking for:

#(' Middle-left-cell ' ' style="width: 14em;" | Middle-center-cell ' '
Middle-right-cell')
