Case insensitive search not working at FindString [invalid]

[wb2k]

Edit: As Little John mentioned, Mode is the 4th parameter, so correct code would be: FindString("PureBasic", "BAS", 0, #PB_String_NoCase)

According to the manual FindString's optional parameter "Mode" allows to do a case insensitive search with #PB_String_NoCase: https://www.purebasic.com/documentation ... tring.html

However, the following code

Code: Select all

Debug FindString("PureBasic", "Bas")
Debug FindString("PureBasic", "BAS")
Debug ""
Debug FindString("PureBasic", "Bas", #PB_String_CaseSensitive)
Debug FindString("PureBasic", "BAS", #PB_String_CaseSensitive)
Debug ""
Debug FindString("PureBasic", "Bas", #PB_String_NoCase)
Debug FindString("PureBasic", "BAS", #PB_String_NoCase)

outputs

Code: Select all

5
0

5
0

5
0

So Debug FindString("PureBasic", "BAS", #PB_String_NoCase) prints out 0 where it should print out 5.

Same result here with PB 5.45 LTS x86.

Please look again into the manual, and then tell us whether "Mode" is the 3rd or the 4th parameter.

Ahhh! [slaps forehead] You are absolutely right. No bug there.

Ohhh, should have seen this. Thanks for clarifying this!
