echo %@index[1234,.,-1] return -21 in new version

[MartinRichter]

Hi!

The new Version 12.1 seems to have a bug.
If I execute
echo %@index[1234,.,-1]

I receive the result-21!

How that?

The result I see in the latest builds for V9, V10, V11 and V12 is the correct, indicating in accordance with the documentation that it did not find the period "." character in the string "1234": -1.

Do you possibly have an @INDEX function defined in a plugin, or by the FUNCTION command? Either one would return its own result instead of that of the built-in function!

The code were I used it is a batch file that is 4 or 5 years old and unchanged.

Totally strange. I repaired the installation and now I have the correct result.

I am sure that I didn't have any plugin or function here.

OK, fixed but reason unknown... :-(

I'd say the reason was a damaged program file (probably takecmd.dll), else "repair" would not have corrected the result.
