That gives 2 and 2. But if you remove the "word 1 to -1 of" in each
case, to simply use
Put "Dog" & cr & \
"Cat" & cr into tTemp
Put number of lines in tTemp into tPreSortCount
sort tTemp
Put number of lines in tTemp into tPostSortCount
Put "Pre-Sort, variable tTemp has" && tPreSortCount && "lines."&
return &\
"Post-Sort, variable tTemp has" && tPostSortCount && "lines."
then you get
Pre-Sort, variable tTemp has 2 lines.
Post-Sort, variable tTemp has 3 lines.
However, if you go back to 3.0, then both versions of the script give you
Pre-Sort, variable tTemp has 2 lines.
Post-Sort, variable tTemp has 2 lines.
So it is certainly a change in the result between 3.5 and earlier
versions. I have a very vague feeling I saw something about this
(discussion, bug report, ????) but cannot find it again. Could it have
been a deliberate change in behaviour - i.e. fixing a previous "bug" ?
I'm sorry that I can't remember what it was i saw (or imagined) about
this - but I can confirm it is a change in result between the recent
versions.
(Maybe Pierre was suggesting using "word 1 to -1 of" as a work-around
that gives the same result in all versions ?
if so, another work-around is to delete the trailing CR before the sort
is done)
