Hi.
Right you are, and this (the dictionary does say that "of" is a synonym of "in") works as well. on mouseUp local tmp put "do " into tmp put "what?" after of of in in of in tmp -- !!!!! put tmp end mouseUp Weird... This is not at all possible with something like: put "woops" onto into tmp Craig Newman -----Original Message----- From: Martin Baxter <mblivec...@harbourhosting.co.uk> To: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Wed, Jan 22, 2014 3:52 pm Subject: a couple of curios While reviewing some old scripts that have been in regular use but not actually edited for some time I came across: put ".js" after in jsfname And was surprised it compiled but it does, it even works on mouseUp local tmp put "do " into tmp put "what?" after in tmp put tmp end mouseUp ## Output = "do what?" Maybe "in" is being ignored by the compiler as a bit of "superfluous cosmetic english" ############ And also the construct: put "string" onto var Not totally surprised that it compiles, but it surprised me to find that it actually works: on mouseUp local tmp put "safe" into tmp put "woops" onto tmp put tmp end mouseUp >> Produces "woops" Martin _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
