Seems like a year or so ago there was a big dust-up here when RunRev changed
their definition of a list to more closely conform to... something. Anyway, I
believe the trailing CR is a symptom of that change.

OK I think I see what is going on here and it IS a bug! Filter is treating all
the lines the way LC normally does, the line without the carriage return. The
bug is that if the last character is a carriage return, it is being included
with the filtered text! I am going to submit it to the QCC unless someone can
explain why this is reasonable behavior.

I think I see the difference. My code didn't have a final return after the
last line, yours did. If I change my code to include the final return, the
return IS included in the result of the filter, even though it's the first
line that is in there, not the last one!! That is very strange and just
reinforces my feeling that the definition os a line is not consistant.

That is very odd. I put this in a button:
ON mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
put "test 1"& cr& "test 2"& cr into theText
filter theText WITH "test 1"
put return is in theText
breakpoint
END mouseUp
I get true and the return is in the variable in the debugger. But when I
execute the code you use, I get your results!!! Apparently there is a
difference between return and cr as concerns the filter command! Is this a
bug or is it intentional?

**
*on mouseUp*
*
put "line1"& return& "line2" into myLines
answer information (return is in myLines)
filter myLines with "line1"
answer information (return is in myLines)
end mouseUp
*
The first answer returns true and the second returns false, no matter
which
line I filter for so the return is not included.

It IS a fact however, that if you filter the lines of something and
there
is only one line that matches the filter, the carriage return will be
included!
