I've been encountering something rather strange lately, and I have a
theory. This is not earthshattering, and no fix required as I know the
fix, but it is rather a puzzle and I am simply curious.
I've never had to specificy that a field was a background field in scripts.
put someText into fld someField
Always this sufficed, regardless of whether the field was cd or bg
(assuming no two fields have the same name). I have not changed my
version of MC, yet suddenly all of my scripts are hollering, throwing up
errors, where before they were running along quietly happy. And the fix
is to add the bg or cd.
The only theory I have is that I've started using wholeMatches a lot.
set the wholeMatches to true
if "blah" is among the items of myVariable then
doThis
end if
I disovered that if myVariable was
"hooter,bingo,blahblah,happydog,sunshine" then looking for "blah" would
create a false positive if I wanted to search for a very specific whole
item. So wholeMatches is my new darling child.
Would that affect a script wanting more specifics regarding whether a
field is bg or cd?
No, I don't think so. The only thing that affects this, as far as I
know, is if the HCAddressing property is set to true. This property is
for compatibility with imported HC stacks, and all newly imported HC
stacks have it set to true by default. Try this in the message box:
set the HCAddressing of this stack to false
I'm not sure how it could have been set to true in the first place
though, unless you have just imported the stack.
