Is it just me? Working with arrays *is* problem

The following code is kind of "super-compressed" from real code.

1) a ForEach() with an array. OK
2) behind that an unrelated ForEach with a list. Abend =

!

Delete 1st foreach, or skip it (incl it's continue): 2nd ForEach is OK!

It seems "relicts" of array-ForEach destroy following list-ForEach!

Code: Select all

// Bug in ForEach(list) after ForEach(array)
   step;
   $agnr[0] = 'YYY';
   ForEach($agnr as $nr, 'e')  { continue; }

   $cmd = "aa<crlf>bb";
   ForEach($cmd, $cgrp, <crlf>, 'e')  { Continue; }

PS: good night!

Yes, something was not reset.

Fix comes.

BTW (unrelated to the bug), looks like you got the positions wrong. Instead of

Code: Select all

ForEach($cmd, $cgrp, <crlf>, 'e')  { Continue; }

it should be

Code: Select all

ForEach($cgrp, $cmd, <crlf>, 'e')  { Continue; }

Thanks again: the bug is gone!

And thanks for the demonstration

That's why I often mock around for "simple, clear and unique logic"! (Though I didn't do here.)
ForEach(array) says (array as variable), while
ForEach(list) says (variable, list)
From the first moment I saw this I thought: bad! Not only for this, but also for "one stmt with syntax dependent from operands".

All these little things lead to unnecessary "How to use? Where's the help?"
And if you don't look - you'll often be wrong.
This time you were wrong.

So please excuse if I continue to mock "I think that's bad done".
Even if you think it's only a peanut.

And don't get me wrong: XY *is* a fine product

Have a nice day!

Such inconsistencies are inevitable in systems that evolve over time. Ask evolution.

And that's why I asked for something to support us with syntax somehow. Anyhow.

Went unnoticed.
