Thanks Alex.
There are a lot of ways to work around the problems caused by this.
However, my main concern though is with the inconsistency in the
engine regarding the cr in the variable. The engine is inconsistent in
its definition of a line for these two lines of code:
sort the lines of tTemp
put the number of lines in tTemp
Sort should never result in changes to the number of lines reported by
the engine.
Paul,
I think I've seen that too in the earlier versions when there is a
char on the line after the cr. In that case, the sort command in the
simple form moves the empty line to the beginning of the variable. The
difference between 3.5 and earlier versions that I've seen now is that
a cr with nothing after it is moved to the beginning of the variable,
effectively creating a new line. In earlier versions a cr at the end
of a variable was left at the end of the variable by the sort command.

I have had the opposite happen.
On a large variable, sorting removed lines.

Hi,
The sort command in 3.5 seems to be adding lines to a variable. I
have a lot of old code that creates lists using a method like this
and I don't believe the problem occurs in earlier versions of rev.
Is this a reported bug or am I missing something?
To see the error, create a stack with a button, paste the following
code into the button and click on the button.
On MouseUp
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."
End MouseUp
