FileExist ( returns the complete path of the file

24 Dec 2018, 17:03

i have a different result if i add a space beetween FileExist and (

1)
fileEx := FileExist ( ActionList postFixGenerated ) ; If no file is found, an empty string is returned.

or

2)
fileEx := FileExist( ActionList postFixGenerated ) ; If no file is found, an empty string is returned.

1) returns the complete path of the file
2) returns false (thats what i expected)

i am using: version: v1.1.30.01 - November 11, 2018

1) does not call the function - you cannot put spaces between the function and the bracket.

but probably will changed with version 2 its sayd here.

I do not know that from any other programming language or script language i have used (except the document description languages ​​like XML HTML and so on).
it took my half the day to find this space problem :-D https://youtu.be/iD30amFYDgw

That won't change in v2 - as far as I can tell there are no plans for that.
