FOREACH skips first entry of self created LIST

[terrabio]

Given the following script:

Code: Select all

#test.ftp
$mylist = "1|2|3"
FOREACH $item in $mylist
     PRINT $item
END FOREACH

following output is generated:

Code: Select all

Running C:\test.ftp
2
3

The first item is skipped!

I know that including a leading "|" will do the job ($mylist = "|1|2|3"),
but this is not mentioned in the scripting guide (GETLIST; section "Remarks")

Is this a bug or a feature, means you have to change it in scriptftp or in the documentation?

Hello terrabio,

Well, it's a bug. I have realized that the separator character "|" must be put before every item. For example:

Code: Select all

$mylist  = "|1|2|3"

This will work but according to the documentation (and the common sense) your script should also work.

Thanks for reporting this. It will be fixed in the next release (3.4)
