UNSET

 [1/3] from: ptretter:norcom2000 at: 14-Jan-2001 19:06


Does UNSET? current have a bug. Look at the following:
>> unset 'a >> print a
** Script Error: a has no value. ** Where: print a
>> blablablah: 2
== 2
>> unset 'blablablah >> print blablablah
** Script Error: blablablah has no value. ** Where: print blablablah
>> unset? 'blablablah
== false
>> print blablablah
** Script Error: blablablah has no value. ** Where: print blablablah
>>
hmmm..... I'm scratching my head.... Hopefully this is a bug. Now this.
>> not unset? 'blablablah
== true
>> value? 'blablablah
== false
>> value? blablablah
** Script Error: blablablah has no value. ** Where: value? blablabla Any thoughts... Paul Tretter

Howdy, Paul: This might be a good FAQ. UNSET? asks if the datatype is unset! When you do: unset? 'some-word it says, "why no, 'some-word is a word!, not an unset!" Try: unset? get/any 'blablablah -jeff

LOL! Jeff, I like the way your personified your response. That helps, thanks. I was basing my understanding off the supplied help within the function. Paul Tretter
