I have noticed some odd behaviour around the "caret" character, "^", above the "6" on the keyboard, ASCII character number 94 (decimal) or 9E (hex). I discovered this because some data in my database contains this character. Occurs in version 7.5, latest 7.6 and 8 although the behaviour is slightly different in each (I think - haven't checked it out fully). Can anyone shed some light on whether this is a bug or if there is some special use for the character or something else?
Here is an R> sample (7.6) copied right from the screen: R>set v x text='^ab' R>sho v x ^ab ab <blank line> R>set v x text='a^b' <blank line> R>sho v x a b <blank line> R>set v x text='^' <blank line> R>sho v x ^ <blank line> R>set v x text='^f^g^h^^' <blank line> R>sho v x ^f^g^h^^ f g h <blank line> <blank line> R>set v x text='a^b' <blank line> R>sho v x a b <blank line> R>set v x text='^a^b' <blank line> R>sho v x ^a^b^h^^ a b Regards, Stephen Markson ForenSys The Forensic Systems Group www.ForenSys.ca 416 512 6950 No virus found in this outgoing message.
