A:="$name:" treated literally?

Post by NotNull »

Test 1:

Code: Select all

addcol:A   A-label:="Same Name"  A:=$name:
Test 2:

Code: Select all

addcol:A   A-label:="Same Name"  A:="$name:"

Test 1 will show the file-/foldername in column "Same Name".
Test 2 will show '$name' literally (without the quotes)


I seem to remember Test 2 at some point did show the filename instead?

Early implementations most likely showed the filename with "$name:"

Showing the literal text $name: with "$name:" is the expected behavior.

Formulas will treat quoted text as literal.
