In my .3ds file the "box.jpg" material was assigned to Box01(but somehow it was altered to Uppercase as "BOX.JPG" later,i found it when i checked this .3ds for the TextureManager not working problem). And in the end of my programm i listed the textures by the getNames() methord.I wonder how the texturemanager works:1.what is the "dummy" mean? 2.which are the "dummy" ones,above or below the "dummy"splitters?

Note: I edited your post to make it more readable.

Anyway, now to your question: It's not a splitter, it's simply the name of the dummy texture. The dummy texture is always present in the TextureManager. It will be used, if no other texture can be found or has been removed or stuff like that.

First thanks for your edit to improve the apperence.
May be for that i am not that good at english, it leaded to your misunderstand.I just mean the line reads "--dummy--" that split the different textures by saying "spliter" 
And after more practise,now I've got it!  Thank you very much!
