[JW Lua] enigmaStrings:CreateString()

[Bruce Olson]

Jari,

Ah, I see it now, I had searched for "enigmaStrings" in the Finale PDK
Framework and found no matches. I should have thought to search on
CreateString. I see that FCRawText:CreateString does not have the parameter
though, so I still might have been confused. I did find that because it was
the base class for FCFileInfo which was the context for Charles inquiry.
Thanks for the cookies to find my way.

Bruce

Bruce,

You're correct. Nowadays, always use the parameters if they are found in the
docs (default parameters are just for C++, and I try to gradually not depend
on them in my C++ code to make the interface to Lua better). 
In this case, CreateString(nil) would also work for the FCStrings object.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
