I found this last night and thought I was just sleep deprived. But it is
still weird this morning and I've duplicated this on two different machines
and in OS 9.1 and 10.1.
The script:
set test_string to "abcdefghijklmne"
display dialog (offset of "e" in test_string)
set the clipboard to test_string
set test_string2 to the clipboard
display dialog (offset of "e" in test_string2)
display dialog test_string2
The first 'offset of "e"' gives me 5 as I would expect. However after a trip
through the clipboard offset can no longer find "e". It returns 0. I've
tried many different variations (copy vs set) added "as string" etc. but it
comes out the same. Any ideas?
