  2. * problem faced is that when it enters presave condition of the nodeapi
  3. * it enters function example_split and when it reaches the nodesave
  4. * condition it goes into an infinite loop creating garbage nodes
  5. * on further debugging I noticed that the node_save condition itself calls the
  6. * the presave condition at the very beginning and which puts it into an infinite loop
  7. *
  8. * when I try with the insert condition the code works perfectly fine but
  9. * the original node is not getting modified and it still holds its content
