Hi Geb,

The pregexp engine needs to see two literal backslashes.  So in the split 
above, we need to double up each backslash, since the backslashes in the 
string literal "\\" need to be protected:

> (pregexp-split "\\\\" S)
("" "x0A1,76.23,179000" "x0A2,76.12,53000" "x0A3,76.10,107500")
;;;;;;

Best of wishes!
