put rContactRecord ["contacttype"] into tContactType -- verified is "|it|"
set the itemdelimiter to "|"
set wholematches to true
put itemoffset(pType, tContactType) into tOffset -- verified pType is "it"
tOffset contains 0
I also used literals as in
put itemoffset("it","|it|") into tOffset
tOffset still contains 0.
I tries using commas with the default itemdelimiter that doesn't work. I
replaced "|" with cr and used lineOffset that doesn't work.
Finally, I DELETED THE FIRST VERTICAL BAR AND THAT WORKED!!!!!
So this bug is about having an empty first item/line. In this case offset will
always return 0. Not good.
Yes I have submitted a bug report. I will update it, but hopefully I can keep
this from biting anyone else in the butt. It is also going to make it really
difficult to do LIKE queries on list columns. Hopefully this gets fixed soon,
because I depend on this kind of list queries a LOT.
