forskip broken in 2.5?

 [1/4] from: chris:starforge at: 26-Mar-2001 18:54


Hi, A friend has informed me that some of his REBOL scripts have stopped functioning in 2.5, specifically the forskip statements they contain no longer work correctly... is anyone else experiencing this?

Chris, I've tested FORSKIP and it appears to work flawlessly in Core 2.5. Could you have your friend send along some examples of his FORSKIP statements that used to work but don't any longer? Also, please include which platform he is running it on. Thanks! -Bo On 26-Mar-2001/18:54:29, [chris--starforge--co--uk] wrote:

I've emailed him, either I'll post them here or he'll contact you directly.

I will not ignore the messenger that stumbles in exhausted and obviously agitated until my personal grooming or current entertainment is finished. It might actually be important.

The problem has been resolved already: he'd downloaded an old version of the datafiles from his website to test the scripts with and.. well, guess what happens when your datafiles have one field more per record than the scripts expect ;) Sorry for reporting the problem without checking he'd got every possible error at his end sorted.. (last time I forward bug reports for someone without checking it myself, I can tell you..)
