Hi all,

im new in this forum and my english is not so fine, but I'll try

to explain what happens as well i can do.

I'm working in a fp7 file in which a script uses a replace function

to change some word in a text field.

Well the fact is that if the text field dimension is under 3800 chars (nearly)

all goes fine. If the text field dimension is over 3800 chars(nearly) the resulting text is wrong

(some replace are doubled, and the end of text is cutted).

I think that is a bug related only to fp7 because in fp5 the same script works fine.

Thanks in advance for your answers and sorry again for my bad english.

Andrea

up pls

Have you installed the v2 patch yet? It might be fixed already.

Ya, I've yet installed the V2 patch. I must apologize for mistake in thread title.

The bug I found is about the [color:"red"] Substitute Function (not the replace function as I wrote).

I'll start a new thread in forum with the right title.

However everyone can check himself:

[color:"red"]1) Create a new fmp7 file

[color:"red"]2) Define 2 simple text field (text1 and text2).

[color:"red"]3) Create 1 simple Script in which Set field [color:"blue"] text2 as Substitute(text1; "sometext"; "someothertext")

[color:"red"]4) go in browse mode and fill text1 field with text to reach more than 4.000 chars

(obviously u must insert the word "sometext" of the Substitute function above.)

[color:"red"]5) Run the Script and unfortunately you'll find in text2 field the

word "someothertext" doubled (practically "someothertextsomeothertext")

Please may everybody check it and give me a feedback?

Thanks guys

Yes, that's a bug.
