MMF2 build 255 and BETA9: INI/Strings causing crash

[Renatos]

Hello everyone,

My app is crashing on the frame where I manipulate strings loaded from an INI, basically if the text has a "*" to it, it removes the character:


Condition: Right$(Button Text$( "AnswerA", 0), 1) = "*"
- Change Text to Left$(Button Text$( "AnswerA", 0), Len(Button Text$( "AnswerA", 0))-1)
Add line to List
- GroupItemString$( "Ini", "ANSWERS", string$( "Question_Number" )+"A")

When I disable the group where this is being activated, the app loads fine. But if it is enabled, the app crashes....am I doing something wrong there?

Certainly a bug in the iOS runtime. Can you send us the mfa so that we can correct it?

[Renatos]

I already sent it to you Francois, it should be in your inbox.

I was having the same problem. I just used "~" to fix it.

[Renatos]

Really!? Interesting....I wonder if I use another character such as # will work then....I can't use the "~" as it is used in the Portuguese language, so I can't use that as a character to switch with the astherix.

[UrbanMonk]

Yes that should do it.. I've also used "^"

I was storing my string manipulations in hidden string objects, but I've found it faster to use a temporary global string. The frame loads faster with less string objects.

[Renatos]

No luck for me...specially because I can't use the ^ ~ ç ` ´ ¨ as these characters are often used in Portuguese. I've tried the < > & and nothing...it still crashes =(

Received the file thanks.

Any idea of when a fix would be available Francois? Is this something very difficult to fix? My project is in a hault due to this bug and it is sort of time sensitive... But thanks for your efforts! =)
