Next version you can report those columns via their captions.

this still only for the first five?

No, for all (as long as they are shown in the current list).

[bdeshi]

okay, it doesn't seem to work when report()'s itemlist param is filled.

Code: Select all

::text report("{SomeCCCaption}<crlf>"); // return == expectation
::text report("{SomeCCCaption}<crlf>",<curitem>); // return != expectation

also how to choose between two CCs both of which happen to have the same caption? Now CCs are prioritized based on when they were added to list.

[admin]

Yes, it only works for the list.
Improvements later.

sc savethumb() doesn't add default/defined extension to created thumbfile if source item name has extra .'s .

Code: Select all

  echo savethumb("E:\Test.pdf"       , , 400, 500, "png"); //creates E:\Test_thumb.png
  echo savethumb("E:\Test.source.pdf", , 400, 500, "png"); //creates E:\Test.source_thumb

Thanks, confirmed and fixed.

default values of function parameter variables are not

processed like elsewhere.
[code] text f1(),,,'f1() out';text f2(),,,'f2() out';text f3(),,,'f3() out';
 text 'start'.'<crlf>'.<crlf>."<crlf>".'end',,,'regular out';
function f1($lf1 = '<crlf>', $lf2 = <crlf>, $lf3 = "<crlf>"){
  return 'start' . $lf1. $lf2 . $lf3 . 'end';
}
function f2($lf1 = '<crlf>', $lf2 = <crlf>, $lf3 = "<crlf>"){
  $lf1 = $lf1;$lf2 = $lf2;$lf3 = $lf3;
  return 'start' . $lf1. $lf2 . $lf3 . 'end';
}
function f3($lf1 = '<crlf>', $lf2 = <crlf>, $lf3 = "<crlf>"){
  $lf1 = $lf1,r;$lf2 = $lf2,r;$lf3 = $lf3,r; //silly workaround
  return 'start' . $lf1. $lf2 . $lf3 . 'end';
}[/code]$lf1/'<crlf>' should stay literal, but the other two should not.

Default parameters are not evaluated at all. They are taken as literals. You cannot even use permanent variables as default parameters (and have them resolved). Nor constantss (and have them resolved).

[bdeshi]

so the silly workaround will have to remain in use.
I suppose you have your reasons... but the situation is inconvenient.
Here's hoping a better way reveal itself.

[bdeshi]

Eh, sorry, but I don't like it.

If it's not a bug then it's at least a noticeable bump in the road to UDF perfection.
Constants/native variables should not suddenly become literal strings; it diverts from silently divert from regular scripting rules.
It's counter-intuitive : when I want a literal <crlf> string I use '<crlf>', else it must be processed.

So again, here's hoping you find a quick fix!

[admin]

Just rechecked with PHP: Constants *are* resolved! But only if unquoted. Single and double quoted constants are not resolved.

In accordance to usage elsewhere in XY I will allow unquoted and double-quoted default parameters to be resolved (XY native vars and environment vars)
So I will make this work (resolve):

Code: Select all

 ..., $lf2 = <crlf>, $lf2 = "<crlf>", ...

[bdeshi]

aha!

v15.00.0517

Something's wrong with writefile()...

Use this from the address bar:

Code: Select all

writefile("test.txt", "abc");

"No such argument" script error appears.

[admin]

Whoops, fix soon.

a little thing: changelog speaks of the mysterious aingle-quotes.
