Try using 'filter' instead, just in case 'line 1' is no longer empty... function listThumbs put ls Thumbnails into tCmd put shell(tCmd) into tPhotoList sort numeric tPhotoList filter tPhotoList without empty return tPhotoList end listThumbs /H ==CODE==

Sort Command in 3.5 is adding lines to a variable

Hi, The sort command in 3.5 seems to be adding lines to a variable. I have a lot of old code that creates lists using a method like this and I don't believe the problem occurs in earlier versions of rev. Is this a reported bug or am I missing something? To see the error, create a stack

Re: Sort Command in 3.5 is adding lines to a variable

Yes, Pierre that form does give a consistent count of the number of lines in the variable. However, the question remains about why the sort command is moving the last cr to the first line which effectively adds a line at the beginning of the variable. If the sort command is treating the

Re: Sort Command in 3.5 is adding lines to a variable

Thanks Alex. There are a lot of ways to work around the problems caused by this. However, my main concern though is with the inconsistency in the engine regarding the cr in the variable. The engine is inconsistent in its definition of a line for these two lines of code: sort the lines of

I agree with Richard. It looks like http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi? id=7809 is NOT fixed. Can someone reopen the report? I think its severity should be changed to major. I will go back to using 3.0, for now. Tim Bleiler, Ph.D. Instructional Designer, HSIT University at

Re: Sort Command in 3.5 is adding lines to a variable

Richard, It has been a while... I went back and checked my records. The problem (probably related to the number of characters per line) was thousands of NULL characters in the variable. When I removed the NULLs, everything worked fine. So now I always trap for NULLs before doing a sort - and

Re: Sort Command in 3.5 is adding lines to a variable

Pasted-in NULL characters can also train wreck the GLX2 script editor. I use Tex-Edit (not Textedit) for quick text cleaning.I've seen text from a database serving Wordpress where users had pasted in NULLs with their text, not to mention curly quotes, etc. - Stephen

Re: Sort Command in 3.5 is adding lines to a variable

About good and simple text editors that can keep text clean (of null characters, in this case), Stephen Barncard recommended Tex-Edit but that's for Macs. Any similar recommendations for Windows? Or is Notepad sufficient? And please note the word simple :-) Thanks. -- Nicolas Cueto

Well one could make a simple thing in a standalone replace numToChar(0) with empty in fld x (or any container, perhaps the clipboard) by the way NULL is a built in constant in Rev. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/7/2 Nicolas Cueto
