Gah, don't send there you silly mail client. Note to self: That's the
send key, not the postpone one.
What I was going to say is that though the new version of Stash deals with
most of these issues, it's still checking for trueness (rather than
defined-ness) of the search pattern when replacing and not doing the
replace if this isn't true. Which means I can't do this:
[% bob = "0" %]
bob: [% bob.replace('0','') %] # returns '0' not ''
Or for that matter
[% wibble = "hi" %]
wibble: [% wibble.replace('',"So: ") %] # returns 'hi' not 'So: hi'
Hope this makes sense...
Later.
Mark.
