Topic: RATC2 controlSet bug with strings?

Hi all,

I am using Nware 1.6.3 and seem to have come across a bug RATC2.

When I controlGet a string with something in it I get:-

      valueIs "config.1" my test string 0.000

I can set this string to a value using:-

      controlSet "config.1" "my new text"

However when I try and set it to nothing :-

      controlSet "config.1" ""

the response is:-

      badArgumentCount


Does anybody know if there is a solution or workaround to this?

Interesting.  Yes, this is a confirmed bug and we have no workaround other than using a 'space' in the quotes.  This will be fixed in the next release.

That is good news thanks.

It would be good if at the same time it were possible to look at a mechanism/syntax to set a string control to a value such as "true""false""true" using RATC.

At the moment if I send the following:-
      contrlSet "config.1" ""true""false""true""
I get the string set to the value:-
       [D[[C"true""false""true""
..and the response:-
     valueIs "config.1" [D[[C"true""false""true"" 0.000

.....which is obviously not correct.
