Re: When is a color not a color

A single integer is also true with "1" is a color also. The dictionary says if it sees an integer it returns true to maintain compatibility with supercard. Methinks the matching is still a bit loose. Works fine with hex designation though. put "#ff" is a color returns true as expected, and put

OK, using the Unicode byte order mark as a signature does work for TextEdit. The "byte order mark" is a non displaying Unicode character. The code is U+FEFF. That is, it is FEFF in base 16, which we write as the numeral 0xFEFF in LiveCode. It is just a big character. It can be used as a patt
