I have some data that looks like this:
1,ABT,N,510,,Y 3,AMT,N,836,, 22,AL,N,132,F,Y
as you can see, each line has exactly 6 items. if I do the following:
put item 1 to 6 of line 1 of data
I get this:
1,ABT,N,510,,Y 3,AMT,N,836,, 22,AL,N,132,F,Y
If I do the following:
put item 1 to -1 of line 1 of data
I get this:
1,ABT,N,510,,Y 3,AMT,N,836, 22,AL,N,132,F,Y
Notice the missing last comma on the second line. It does not matter how many commas I append, it will always leave off the last one unless there is another character at the end. Unless I do not understand how this is supposed to work, this is a bug. Yes?
This little gotcha has cost me a lot of time to figure out, because it was subtly changing my database. I looked everywhere trying to figure out why my data had a slight bias that I did not believe should be there.
