VA 8.02 Migration FYI about EsString>>#subStrings:

Postby mpeters » Tue Jun 15, 2010 11:43 am

As part of the changes on 8.02 EsString>>#subStrings: was made ANSI-compliant.
This caused many of our unit tests to break. The difference is that the new version does not return leading or trailing separators. To fix this we implemented a new method with the old behavior and changed all of our code to use the new method. As we write new code, our plan is to switch to the ANSI-compliant version of subStrings:

Mark -

This change was covered in the Migration Guide (see http://www2.instantiations.com/VAST/Doc ... ra812.html). We provide a new method -- EsString>>#allSubStrings: -- with the old behavior for those who need it.
