[Gambas-user] Question about Subst() syntax

[Benoit Minisini]

Hi,

I plan to limit the Subst() instruction to nine substitutions, for 
optimization reasons. Does anyone use Subst with more than nine 
substitutions?

I will do that for 3.0, and this will break 2.0 programs that use more than 
nine substitutions.

The other proble is that the '&XX' syntax is ambiguous. &1 up to &9 is not, 
but &10 can mean the 10th subsitution, or the first substitution followed by 
a zero character. This was a stupid design.

Maybe the future syntax will be &1 up to &9, and then &(10),&(11),&(12) and so 
on... Or maybe not, as I find that not really beautiful...

Beware that the substitution syntax is used by the database methods Edit(), 
Exec(), Delete(), Find() too. So they are concerned by the syntax change.

Please tell...
