Did anyone solve Romano's find/match mystery?

 [1/2] from: pwawood::mango::net::my at: 6-May-2005 14:30


Back in December 2002, Romano posted on the mailing list (HYPERLINK http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-display-message.r?m=rmlRWNJ h ttp://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-display-message.r?m=rmlRWNJ) : Can someone explain this?
>> find/match/last/tail "ba" "b"
== none
>> find/match/last "ba" "b"
== "a" I checked in Core 2.5.6 and View 1.2.10 and still get the same results. Does anyone know if this has been fixed? (if it is a bug). Should it be added to RAMBO? Regards Peter

P> == "a" I think /match is incompatible with /last, and it already implies /tail. Could be considered a bug, since the combination should probably give an error, or at least ignore /last and /tail.
