FileSearch function
Hi

I think I have found a problem in the FileSearch function - on exit $0 and $1 variables are swapped when compared on their settings on entry to the function.

I think that this can be fixed by changing the end of the FileSearch function from:

Exch $2 ;output number of lines
Exch 2
Exch $1 ;output yes/no
Exch
Exch $0 ;output count found
FunctionEnd

to:

Exch $2 ;output number of lines
Exch 2
Exch ; Add this line
Exch $1 ;output yes/no
Exch
Exch $0 ;output count found
FunctionEnd

Regards

Tim

I concur - I've edited the wiki.

However, rather than your proposal, I've made it this:

Exch $2 ;output number of lines
Exch
Exch $1 ;output yes/no
Exch 2
Exch $0 ;output count found
FunctionEnd

Which will have the same effect, but is an op less.
