More IfFileChanged Fun

[tony_smith]

My existing scripts containing IFC stopped working when I upgraded to Version 7.3...

This is undocumented, but the IFC statement in version 7.3 must have at least a comma denoting that the false label name is null or it will no longer work correctly.

For instance... this old code will yield erroneous output;

GetFileList>U:\Reports\EDIF_BATCH\*.txt,files
Separate>files,;,file_names
MessageModal>Num Files: %file_names_count%
Let>k=0
Repeat>k
Let>k=k+1
IfFileChanged>file_names_%k%,NOPE
Label>YUP
Let>FYUP=file_names_%k%
Messagemodal>Yes-More than 1%CRLF%%FYUP%
Goto>SKIPNO
Label>NOPE
Let>FNOPE=file_names_%k%
Messagemodal>No-Less than 1%CRLF%%FNOPE%
Label>SKIPNO
Until>k,file_names_count

If I change the line containing the IFC to;

IfFileChanged>file_names_%k%,U:\Reports\EDIF_BATCH\*.txt,files
Separate>files,;,file_names
MessageModal>Num Files: %file_names_count%
Let>k=0
Repeat>k
Let>k=k+1
IfFileChanged>file_names_%k%,YUP
Let>FYUP=file_names_%k%
Messagemodal>Yes-More than 1%CRLF%%FYUP%
Goto>SKIPNO
Label>NOPE
Let>FNOPE=file_names_%k%
Messagemodal>No-Less than 1%CRLF%%FNOPE%
Label>SKIPNO
Until>k,file_names_count

Hope this saves some of you some time.

That's not good, it should be backward compatible. Thanks for letting us know. We will fix this immediately and issue an update asap.
