Don't "do" it

Thought I would start a new thread, since the old one is getting long in the tooth.

Say you have a valid string in the clickChunk (char 103 to 105 of field 10).

So:

Code: Select all

get "XYZ"
put it into the clickChunk  -- "LINE "A"
put it into char (word 2 of the clickChunk) to (word 4 of the clickChunk) of fld 10 --LINE "B"

In a standalone made for Windows and Mac:

-- line "A" works on Mac and one Windows 7 machine, but not on another Windows 7 machine.
-- line "B" works everywhere.

Now I have no problem solving a problem without understanding it, and this sort of touches on the haunted issues I had a few days ago. But anyone ever see this? Never mind the particular instance of nonsense I am dealing with, but anywhere? Is there something else that might be running on one machine that will prevent LC from executing that handler consistently?

Hi Craig,

Perhaps the clickChunk is flushed before the line gets executed. Your syntax in line A works fine on my Windows 10 machine. I expect there is something odd going on on the machines where it doesn't work for you.

Mark.

Wouldn't that be earth shattering news, that such a thing is machine dependent?

Craig,

I don't see proof that it is machine dependent. At least not yet.

Mark,

I doubt I can prove it to anyone from here.

I will try it on other machines. I can do this on about 15, and report back.
