Hi Garrett,

Of course!
But VFPT don't trap a multiline CR or NL, they have trapped a innoffensive literal CR or NL,
it is a character, not a command line separator.
The bug it is still present on VFP9.

I try another example:

CLEAR
ON ERROR ?? MESSAGE()

? "Expected : 6    Observed VFP8 : 6 VFP9 : Error"
? EVALUATE("printLenString([3+5"+CHR(13)+"+2])")

? "Expected : 6    Observed VFP8 and VFP9 : Error"
? EVALUATE("printLenString([3+5"+CHR(10)+"+2])")

? "Expexted : Error Observed VFP8 and VFP9 : Cut the code"
? EVALUATE("printLenString([A])"+CHR(13)+"+printLenString([A])")

? "Expexted : Error Observed VFP8 and VFP9 : Cut the code"
? EVALUATE("printLenString([A])"+CHR(10)+"+printLenString([A])")

? "Expexted : Error Observed VFP8 and VFP9 : Cut the code"
? EVALUATE("printLenString([A])"+CHR(0)+"+printLenString([A])")

ON ERROR 

PROCEDURE printLenString(s)
RETURN LEN(s)
