The problem is in the code you didn't show, or in your input.

The code you didn't show, when applied to the input you didn't show, 
produces a result you didn't show, which must consist of a single item, 
or $separatorVar is empty, since the only thing we know is that 
$separatorVar wasn't visible in the result.

It's a bit hard to offer advice, other than the usual list advice of 
supplying a small, complete, example that demonstrates the problem.
