Please define the behaviour of non-matching parseTags

User Guide says:

app.parseTags(tags): string Parses the specified string for tags and returns the result.

so one can only guess the result of non-match is empty string.

Thanks.

It's an empty string unless it somehow generates a parse error.

Thanks but sorry if I was unclear. Mine was a request to the developer to define the behaviour. Currently the behaviour is undefined hence risky.

No, you posted on the forum which is where users try to help other users. Contact Kim at the "Support" link above.

Thanks. I see nothing suggesting Devs don't read this forum. I will do as you suggest.

You can test it out like this:
app.log(app.parseTags(''));
The result is an empty string

If you give it an invalid tag, the result is still an empty string:
app.log(app.parseTags('<sdlck>'));

If you give it no value at all, the result will be undefined
app.log(app.parseTags());

Thanks. But:

If you give it an invalid tag, the result is still an empty string:
app.log(app.parseTags('<sdlck>'));

is undefined behaviour. My suggestion is that this remedied by the User Guide.

Sorry to have been insufficiently clear.

I don't know what else it should do besides returning an empty string. It is the only logical result in my opinion. It works exactly the same as the New Name method.

Returning an empty string is fine.

All that's needed is the User Guide make this defined behaviour. Then scripts will be able to rely on it.
