Lien,
Just a guess, but if the argument is a regular expression then "." has
special meaning (match any character) whereas "," just means comma. So
try using "\\." (an escaped dot, and of course the backslash itself
needs to be escaped, at least in Java so probably in whatever language
this is).

I just tried this with 2.5.2 and it worked for me. I created a blank
report and added a data item with a type of string and the following
expression.
var par = "Hi, there. I am working now. Please come later."
var sArr = par.split(".") ;
sArr[1];
