I have a variable with: /Users/hawk/bk_clients/blue aardvark/blue_aardvark____001.dhbk /Users/hawk/bk_clients/pink panther/pink_panther_____001.dhbk /Users/hawk/bk_clients/super chicken/super_chicken____005.dhbk /Users/hawk/bk_clients/test5/test5____________001.dhbk
which was obtained with a shell command and ls on OSX Using replaceText() to replace ^/Users/hawk/bk_clients/ with empty, I get blue aardvark/blue_aardvark____001.dhbk /Users/hawk/bk_clients/pink panther/pink_panther_____001.dhbk /Users/hawk/bk_clients/super chicken/super_chicken____005.dhbk /Users/hawk/bk_clients/test5/test5____________001.dhbk That is, the ^ is only being applied to the variable as a whole, rather than to each line. Does this have to do with how livecode and OSX delimit lines? -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
