"len" command isn't correct

[Frankolinox]

a) I've downloaded latest oxygen package at the early afternoon. now the "len" command seems to be wrong:

Code: [Select]

''
'' something is uncorrect with "len" command
''
byte ByteLen
byte p 'AS BYTE 'POINTER

ByteLen = len(p)  ' size of a pointer = 4 bytes

print str(bytelen) ' result should be: 4 ' correct! :)

'but oxy says however "0"

b) and I've noticed after checking "AsciEditor" (projectsB/scintilla/) thats an error occured for line 149 and that's concerning "len(iccx)" command too.

best regards, frank

yes, sorry of course, I am not very fit at the moment (the cold days are trembling my thoughts!), thanks peter, but the problem with "ASciEdit" example still remains, the example worked last days very fine

Hi Frank, Just to clarify:

byte b
byte *p

print sizeof b '1
print sizeof p '1
print sizeof sys '4 or 8 all pointers (&p) are sys (32bit or 64 bit)

thank you charles for clarification, it's not my day  

my little "len()" example:

Code: [Select]

sys var1,var2
string festerText
wstring zstr
festerText = "TestAlpha" ' 9
zstr       = "TestBeta"  ' 8
print len(festerText)
print len(zstr)

var1=240
print str(len(var1)) ' 3
'all correct here! ;)


b) in example "AsciEdit.o2bas" I have changed this line from len() into sizeof() and all is working fine here, thank you peter for your tipp!

you must take sizeOf()

Code: [Select]

iccx.dwSize = sizeof(iccx) 'len(iccx )
so in that example from aurel this line 149 has to be fixed with "sizeof(iccx)" for a next oxygen update issue.

best regards, frank
