/tmp/testit.m4: define(`First', index($1,`@')) First(`foo@bar@baz') index(`foo@bar@baz',`@')
dca@franz:/tmp$ m4 testit.m4 -1 3 dca@franz:/tmp$ I'm stumped as to why the index call in First returns -1, whereas the direct call returns the correct index. In trying to understand this, I've defined a 'myindex' macro that simply returns its arguments, and they are the same in both cases. Any help would be appreciated. /Don Allen
