Create a List replace method; in the "Replace:" field enter = or Alt+061.

I get nothing but what normally happens if you press the Tab key. Is this just on my stupid computer or does this happen to everyone?

EDIT: Doesn't happen in 3.95 portable. END EDIT

Cheers,
DF

Hi DF,
I don't know if it happens to everyone, but it happens to me for sure. :)

Hi all,

Same here. If you paste the symbol it appear and dissapear. Magic!
With the Replace method all work fine

Yeah, that method doesn't support the = sign. The reason is how the values are stored in memory. The left hand side and right hand side is stored in a single line separated by a =. I can see how this is not ideal, since = is common on filenames. I will change it to use a less used character instead, like : or |. Both of these are not legal filenames characters on Windows.

The visual controls are different in version 3. That is why you don't see this problem. But version 3 has had various other display bugs in the list replace method.
