Yes, this is expected behavior. If the last item or line delimiter is the delimiter char, then there is no 'last item as empty'
You could do a simple modification put the last item of (myItemList & the itemDel) into theLogicalLastItem Jim Ault Las Vegas --- On Sun, 8/21/11, Pete <p...@mollysrevenge.com> wrote: From: Pete <p...@mollysrevenge.com> Subject: Accessing the last item in a line To: "How to use LiveCode" <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Date: Sunday, August 21, 2011, 2:50 PM It seems that if the last item in a string is empty, then trying to access it by using "item -1" returns the penultimate item, not the last one. For example, given the string "a,b," item -1 of that string comes back as "b". This is on LC 4.6.2, OS X 10.6.8. Is this expected behavior?
