Oddly enough I was bit by something very similar last week: I was putting together a small demo for a new convert to LiveCode, and was hurrying and distracted, running late for an LC tutorial with him.
I stupidly typed something like: put "label-string: " and someVar after field "foo" instead of put "label-string: " & someVar after field "foo" and was getting a mysterious "false" popping up in the message box. After binary-searching my way through the code with debugging prints for an annoyingly-long time, I finally spotted the error. Still had to scratch my head a bit to figure out how THAT mistake cause THAT message to pop up in the mbox, until I realized that the parser must have AND'd "label-string:" with "someVar after field "foo"" and decided somehow that it evaluated to false. Then, having sucked up the whole rest of the statement in the AND evaluation, it had nowhere to PUT the result but the massage box... Of course I said to myself afterward "Boy, how likely is it I'll ever see THAT screwup again". Shawn's problem sounds suspiciously similar. I will leave the appropriate regex to find this kind of thing to people with brains that are more grep-like than mine is these days... Larry ps: But many thanks to Jacque, et al for pointing out the target icon in LC 6.0.x. Now if we could just get the intersect/opaque-pixels bug fixed, I could start using the Community Edition in my "iPad game programming for 8-12 year olds" classes! _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
