Re: MatchText creates variables?

2001-07-27 Thread Klaus Major 

Hi Geoff,

actually the MC-help says that variabels have to be declared before
using them in matchtext(...)

 In the docs, it says to be sure to initialize variables before using them to
 store matches found with MatchText. Yet the following works:
 

local tNeverInitialized ###!!! this is what the help means !!!
on mouseUp
   get matchText(test this,(.*) ,tNeverInitialized)
   put tNeverInitialized -- puts test , not reliable, see below
end mouseUp

 Any ideas?

Sometimes some things work like not expected ;-), even in MC...
(in a good or bad manner...)

Fact is: NEVER rely on these anomalies 
I did once and the shit done hit the fan...


Hope this helps.
