It was foretold that on Tuesday, November 13, 2001 at 11:17 PM, Januk Aggarwal [JA] would type:
>>> %SUBPATT=1 JA> The problem isn't the regexp, it's the %SUBPATT macro. Someone forgot JA> their quotation marks. ;-) I should note, it seems TB's macro engine is a little more unpredictable than the help file would suggest. It would seem that TB looks at the first character after the = and uses that to be the argument delimiter. In other words, the following are equivalent: %TO="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" %TO='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] The third one can be confusing to say the least, but it works. That means that if you forget the quotation marks, TB will take the first letter/character of your string and use that as the delimiter. This can lead to some very unexpected results. Note: the rules governing these new delimiters are the same as the traditional ones. For example, if you want the character in your string, you must double it up, etc. So be warned and be careful. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Using The Bat! 1.54/10 under Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A Despite these words, this page is blank. -- ______________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbtech.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
