The trueWord chunk "after" the end of string contains the last word in the string. This is different from the corresponding word which contains an empty string.

I ran this in the message box

Code: Select all

put "The cat sat on the mat." into tText
put the sixth word of tText & return into tResult
put the seventh word of tText & return after tResult
put the sixth trueWord of tText & return after tResult
put the seventh trueWord of tText & return after tResult
put tResult

This is the result

Code: Select all

mat.

mat
mat

I have noticed that this also happens when you expect any empty chunk:

Code:

Code: Select all

put "The cat sat on the mat" into tText
put the seventh word of tText = the seventh trueWord of tText

Result:

Code: Select all

false

Hi Peter,

Thanks for this, it is indeed a bug. The seventh trueWord should in fact be empty, since punctuation marks are not considered trueWords by LiveCode.

Kind regards,

Ali

Thanks Ali

After reading the release notes properly, I realised that trueWords don't capture punctation and updated the first message accordingly.

Best regards

Peter
