Pass multiple strings as params via "command"

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

@ hh, good sleuth…

OK thanks all for confirming.. .I will report this. …. [pauses for a trip to the QA Center]

Bug is in:

http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18032

The context is working on a script only stack. there is are no buttons to use, hence the dependency on the msg box.

For now I'm using a work around like this

fetchRandomMediaItem ("media_type","art/painting")

command  FetchRandommediaItem pCriteria
# do stuff with
item 1 of pCriteria
item 2 of pCriteria.

Since it appears that param 1 can be anything and is not evaluated…

yep… it fails because "art/painting" cannot be evaluated  but "8/2" can

command testParams pParam1, pParam2
put pParam1 & cr & pParam2 after tOutput
put tOutput
end testParams

save and be sure the stack is open! (just because you are editing the script does not mean it is in the msg path... another possible bug)

in msg box enter

testParams  "1+2", "3+4"

result:

1+2
7

"nasty"



I don't have errors with LC 6/7/8 from a script (not msg).
From msg box I have also no errors when using LC 6 and 7.

But from msg box with LC 8.
This is probably a bug in LC 8, that msg box command tries to *evaluate*
the second param.

You can see this if you use for example
fetchRandomMediaItem  "a/b", "a=a"
