A card script that I had made using 4.6.1 was causing a script error in a
button when used in 4.6.4. The button script had no problem, but it did call
into an unrelated handler in the same card script where the problem line was.
It turned out that one line in that card script had an invisible

delimiting is older than tab delimiting, which if my vague memory serves me
came along with the Mac OS at some point. I think the reasoning was that it was
much more likely that raw text would contain commas and not
ASCII LF (line feed) is the LiveCode NewLine, so perhaps you mean the CR,
carriage return. That LiveCode calls the newline the return character adds to
the confusion.
I too have had bad lines show up that had to be retyped. There might be a
range of control characters that cause problems.
Good find.
If the recipe is consistently reproducible it should be easy and very
convenient for scripters to add the presence linefeed chars to the
circumstances that will trigger a compilation error.
Have you submitted a request for that?

Well first, there is the issue of standalone. I am sure you have seen prior
posts, but make sure your actual application stack is not the main stack as the
main stack in a standalone will not be editable.
If you set a custom property, either of the card or the stack, it will persist

An alternative might be for the compiler to ignore all characters that have no

Even if pasting could be fixed to remove carriage returns, or change them to
carriage return and line feed (whatever it is that is required), that wouldn't
fix existing scripts. What you said about the compiler processing it based on
how it looks would take care of the issue.

I agree. I am not much for the idea that software should change anything in the
clipboard, as they cannot possibly predict why I am pasting it or what the

I recently encountered a problem implementing an undo function in a script. I
needed to compare two arrays to see if any values had changed, like this:
put (tArray1 tArray2) into sDirtyFlag
so that sDirtyFlag would be true when the arrays failed to match. However,
sDirtyFlag was always false!
I also ran into comparing arrays in this fashion. First of all, comparing
arrays is cASE sENSITIVE (if I remember correctly). Secondly some normal
operators like empty do not work on arrays. Arrays ALWAYS report empty! (At
least the do for me).
If the arrays are not terribly large, try using

OK, Tereza, you're not crazy.

Look at the docs for =; LiveCode CAN compare arrays using =. I started out
