Hi Wilhelm, no this is not a bug.
If you know that all of your groups have names set on them (i.e. not "group
id xxxx") then you could get round this with:
put return & the vis of group (char 2 to -2 of word 2 of the owner of fld j
of cd i of the topStack) of cd i of the topStack after last line of
SearchResult
In the above line, first we specify where fld j is (of cd i of the topStack)
but then we go on to say where the owner is (of cd i of the topStack). Also
the group is referred to by actually using the word "group" and then by
extracting the name of the group - this is instead of using the previous
method in combination with a "do" statement.
However, the overall easiest way would probably be:
set the defaultStack to the topStack
put the owner of fld j of cd i into tGroup
if word 2 of tGroup is "id" then put return & the vis of group id (word 3
of tGroup) of cd i after last line of SearchResult
else put return & the vis of group (char 2 to -2 of word 2 of tGroup) of
cd i after last line of SearchResult
This directly queries the visibility of the group after finding out how to
refer to it. So you can use it with groups regardless of whether they have a
names set on them.
Cheers,
Alan
