tab("get", "index", -1)

[Evolve]

Hey guys, what’s going on. I've been busy recently and have missed a couple of updates. I've updated from v23 to v27 and some of my scripts broke cause of this line of code that finds the last tab index:

msg(tab("get", "index", -1));

Tab name not found

Code: Select all

v25.00.0213 - 2023-10-27 16:44
    + SC tab enhanced: Instead of the index, you can now pass the caption or the path of
      the tab. Tabs are searched from left to right, the first match wins.
      Syntax: tab([operation], [data], [index], [ID])
        index:  Refers to a tab by its position, first tab = 1.
                Alternatively pass the name (if you named the tab via "Rename Tab...") or
                the path. Wildcards * and ? are supported.
                Defaults to the current tab. See also individual descriptions above under
                each operation.
      Remarks:
        - The matching is case-insensitive (A==a).
        - If there is no match, an error message "Tab name not found" is displayed and no
          operation is performed.
      Examples:
        tab("close", , "Mickey");       //close first tab called "Mickey" (no prompt)
        tab("close", , "Desktop\Desk"); //close first tab pointing to "Desktop\Desk" (no prompt)
        echo tab("get", "ID", "*23");   //get ID of first tab whose name ends with "23"

msg(tab("get", "index", -1));

Tab name not found

Errors for me too.

tab() help says:

Notes
If index is negative then position is calculated from the right end (-1 points to the right-most tab).

and includes the example tab("lock", , -1); which also fails for me with the same error message.

That's a bug. Fixed in next beta.
