Here’s a riddle for you!
Suppose you are in the habit of using “function chaining” like this to reduce your lines of code:
path2 = path2.mid(2).left(path2.len()-1)
If so, be careful as they can sometimes surprise you with the results you get. Consider the following code:
dim path1 as string = """C:\users\ieuser\desktop\new folder""" path1 = path1.mid(2) path1 = path1.left(path1.len()-1) dim path2 as string = """C:\users\ieuser\desktop\new folder""" path2 = path2.mid(2).left(path2.len()-1) break
These two look a lot alike but do not give you the same result. Share your thoughts as to why this happens in the comments or go right to the solution.
