This doesn’t totally fit with the conversation, and I assume the Team knows this but… SORT assumes that a trailing comma indicates an empty item… for example:
on mouseUp local tTestITEMS put "1,2,3,4,5," into tTestITEMS answer the number of items in tTestITEMS && "ITEMS" && "tTestITEMS" && tTestITEMS -- will give FIVE items sort items of tTestITEMS by random(10000) answer the number of items in tTestITEMS && "ITEMS" && "tTestITEMS" && tTestITEMS -- will give SIX items end mouseUp be well randy hengst www.classroomFocusedSoftware.com > On Aug 20, 2016, at 6:22 PM, Monte Goulding <mo...@appisle.net> wrote: > > >> On 21 Aug 2016, at 8:57 AM, Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> >> wrote: >> >> It would appear that the current behavior in v8 is a fix that addresses a >> previously anomalous handling of delimiters in the case of "is among". > > That’s my feeling also.
