Possible bug or is it me ?

Post by shawnblc » Sat Mar 01, 2014 12:39 pm

When using the following, I'd expect to get the first line, which I don't in 6.6 dp1, but do in 6.5.2 rc1

Code: Select all

put line 1 of the url ("http://somedomain.com/phpscript.php") into field "fldName"
I don't get the desired result in the message box either.

Perhaps it's a bug?

Using MAC OSX 10.9.2 Mavericks.

Hi Shawn,

if it is working in 6.5 but not in 6.6, then it sounds like a bug! :D

But please try again without the THE, which is not correct syntax:
...
put line 1 of url("http...")
## put line 1 of THE url...
...
THE should only be used to address custom properties.
But I don't think this is causing the problem here.

On another line where I was also using the word 'the' it was pulling in the data, the other line wasn't. When I took your recommendation and removed the word 'the' both seem to be pulling data now. Thank you.
