(R) was documented to refer to the last match found, so anyone relying on it replacing something at the beginning (or, indeed, doing anything well-defined at all) on a failure is making unwarranted assumptions. Still, if this is going to cause multiple hard to find problems it's going to be a continuing nuisance. It would be nice to be able to detect if the index is going to be used for something other than extracting a single element and use the first index if so, but the current interface doesn't make that easy. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR PLC, Churchill House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road Cambridge, CB4 0WZ, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 To access the latest news from CSR copy this link into a web browser: http://www.csr.com/email_sig.php To get further information regarding CSR, please visit our Investor Relations page at http://ir.csr.com/csr/about/overview
