Problem with itemOffset() [SOLVED]

[atout66]

Hi to all,

Look at my code below, and try it in the commandWindow:

Code: Select all

put "603+,115,603,107,116" into laList
put "603" into leTest
answer itemOffset(leTest,laList)

You get "1" instead of "3".

Any idea how I could optimize this code ?

Kind regards.

Hi atout,

put "603+,115,603,107,116" into laList
put "603" into leTest
answer itemOffset(leTest,laList)

add "set the wholeMatches to true"

Code: Select all

 put "603+,115,603,107,116" into laList
   put "603" into leTest
   set the wholeMatches to true
   put  itemOffset(leTest,laList) into field 1

KInd regards

add "set the wholeMatches to true"

You've got it Bernd
For a beginner like me, I could not guess such subtlety.
I'm sure some others will be glad to notice this trick...

Thanks to all of you.
