When Is A String Not A String


  • Subject: When Is A String Not A String

I have a variable, x, which is either a string or an alias to a folder. When x encounters this code ...

	if (class of x) is string then
		A
	else -- x is an alias
		B
	end if

... it works perfectly in Leopard. But, I've just discovered, not in Tiger 10.4.11.

In Tiger, if x = "a text message" (which is certainly a string), then block A is skipped and block B runs with an error message containing "a text message". (Which is certainly impossible.)

Who knows what's happening here?
