Because then if they don’t get the syntax correct, they’ll ask for help in our support forums, and it’s on us to answer the same question over and over again. Or they’ll just decide our library doesn’t work and give up on it. (I do see this as a design defect in the NSPredicate parser. The fact that the identifiers ‘first’ and ‘last’ have special meaning as array subscripts should not prevent them from being used as ordinary property names in key-paths.) —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
