Has anyone else struck this problem: I am having a problem getting my pdf script to compile because of the use of the "�" sign to indicate the end of a lingo script line. I have removed the character in other scripts(direct email, drag'n drop) with success but in this case the the pdf open string is longer than 256 characters and returns an "operend espected" error when I try this. It seems like an incompatibility with Dir 8.5 because I did't have this problem in ver 8.0!

I'm not sure what happens with the Pro version as far as purchasing goes. Maybe something will come of the Sonify site.

I think Jakob's point is well made, but the really important thing is not to be accountable when someone says "My code broke and we lost the gig/contract/bonus because your code forgot to reset the itemDelimiter". Also, if you're operating on a 'black box' prinicple, creating a routine (or if you're an OOP type, writing a method) which is going to be called from inside someone else's code which may or may not be using the itemDelimiter or the floatPrecision or whatever, don't you have some kind of responsibility to save and restore? If not, shouldn't you document that the routine/method has side effects? on brennanscode the itemDelimiter = ":" out = "" str = "Macintosh HD:Documents:Porn:GoatLover.jpg" c = str.item.count repeat with n = 1 to c j = jakobsCode(str, n) out = j.item[n] end repeat end -Brennan --__--__-- Message: 8 Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 22:33:28 +0900 From: Fumio Nonaka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: <lingo-l> chartonum 0?
