Re: Split by null
I lost a bit of time trying to reproduce the issue using an input actually having NULLs, and could not reproduce. The recipe is way simpler, and the bug report is there: http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15641 Regards, Seb On 23/07/2015 15:32, Mark Waddingham wrote: Indeed - I already forwarded this to Seb to file :) Sent from my iPhone On 23 Jul 2015, at 15:28, Mike Kerner mikeker...@roadrunner.com wrote: Sounds like it's time for a bug report.

Moreover, that example succeeds in LC 7!

Re: Split by null
Hi Peter, After looking more into the issue, it appears that you have been exploiting a bug in LiveCode 6.7 for a long time, that's not a bug in LiveCode 7.0 :) If you change by NULL with by ; then you will have the same thing in 6.7 as you see with NULL in 7.0: the behaviour described in the documentation. I suggest you to get a look at the bug report (http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15641) for more explanations.
