Re: ArrayEncode/Decode broken??
I made the same mistake a while ago, until I remembered that the encoded array is binary. You have to write and read it to/from a binary file. If you just use "open file" you get text only. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On March 18, 2022 6:40:40 PM Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: Hi all.
