I thought it was v.7x.
And is any string supported?
Code: Select all
set the itemDel to "my dog has fleas"

Hi Craig,
yes and yes, if the dictionary doesn't lie to me!
Chance to tell my alltime favourtie:
My dog has got no nose!
How does it smell?
Awful!

You can use itemDel with more than 1 char now? Thats great! Can you please tell which version supports this?

Looking at the Dictionary entry for itemdel I see this note:
Comments:
From LiveCode 7.0, itemDelimiter can be a string of one or several characters. Chunk expressions use the itemDelimiter to determine where one item ends and the next begins.

Reading the first two postings here, I get the same information.
PLUS a side blow to take a look into the dictionary!

Not meant as any sort of strike at all, just a gentle reminder that the thousands of hours put into the documentation is for the most part a pretty good investment, well worth reviewing when needed.

Calm down, everyone.
My dictionary is v6, so I for one would not have seen that notice. And a quick perusal of the updates to the dictionary in the list of release notes on the LC site did not show the change, though I could have missed it.
But I do believe that this is a powerful enhancement to an old favorite.

Craig, any reason not to use LC 7? You're missing a lot.
