Can't call .split on a string, is this a bug?

[danieltroger]

Hi guys, I have loaded a 240MB file into a string and I can't call .split on it. It says VM503:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot create property 'split' on object '[object Unknown]'. The string is already typeof "string" and calling .toString() yields the same error. Also if I do String.prototype.split.apply(thestring, ["\n"]); I get the same error.

Is this a bug in node or is this expected behaviour and I'm missing something?

I'm new to node, usually I write js for the browser and there doing something like that would work.

Hmmm, when I actually put it into the file it executes fine, I just can't call it from the debugger. So I guess it is a bug?
