Hi, all. I am wondering if I have found a bug in runrev version 2.2 running
under mac os x.3.3. here is the problem:
if i have a script line that goes
delete line x of url "file:someFile.txt"
the script crashes saying that "the object cannot be found"
but if i change the script to:
put empty into line x of url "file:someFile.txt"
then the script works. Even the transcript docs say that "delete" and "put
empty..." are equivalents.
They aren't really equivalent. Suppose you start with somevar equal to
1 2 3
and you say "delete line 2 of somevar". You then get
1 3
but if you say "put empty into line 2 of somevar" you would get
1
3
So they aren't really the same.
Why would the script crash with "delete" then but not with "put empty"?
Check out the whole thing. Perhaps you don't actually have that line! Putting empty into a line you don't have creates the line, by the way.
know there are no other errors with this script (ie,
the problem isn't about finding files or anything like that, it's _strictly_
about deleting a line), though I'm not sure if the error occurs with every
call to delete a line in every url "file" structure. this drove me batty
this morning, till i figured out what the problem was.
thanks.
