Did you try with the * parameter of Position? There were some very significant changes to Position in v11 due to the new Unicode engine 4D is using. What I've done is created a simple wrapper for Position that is backward compatible with 4D 2004 and earlier: C_TEXT($1;$2) C_LONGINT($3;$lStartPos) If (Count parameters>2) $lStartPos:=$3 Else $lStartPos:=1 End if $0:=Position(Uppercase($1);Uppercase($2);$lStartPos;*) Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Sheldon King Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 12:57 PM To: 4d_tech-jTdV3SBRT1BWk0Htik3J/w< at >public.gmane.org Subject: Position command broken in v11 HF2 We have run across a nice little bug in v11 Hotfix 2.

So I'm trying to create my first plugin in 4D. I'm using the '4D Plugin Wizard' from the 4D Plugin SDK and am just trying to get the 'Example' from the online documentation to work. The documentation is apparently so old that it doesn't even mention Xcode or the new 4D 2004 '.bundle' packaging for plugins. I figured out how to create an Xcode project file and compile it. The problem is that if I put the resulting Xcode '.bundle' folder directly into the 'Plugins' folder at the 4D database level, the plugin apparently doesn't load. That is, if I open a 4D method and view all plugin commands, my plugin and its commands are not listed. I have checked and double-checked the '.bundle' folders structure against that of the 4D Write plugin bundle. My plugin is exactly the same except for the following: 1) my plugin has no 'windows' subfolder 2) my plugin has no 'PkgInfo' file in the Contents folder 3) my plugin '.bundle' file is just a folder; 4D Write is a true mac 'package' So.. th John Christensen 2008-08-20T23:45:41 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.inug-4d.tech/75998 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 4D News August 20, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: [1] 4D Summit Hotel Almost Full!

If you run a database with no Plug-ins or register before opening a database then you can avoid this error message.
