| Summary | REPLACE behaving differently with strings and binary values |
|---|---|
| Description | I fear that REPLACE on binary values has a bug. The examples should be analogous but they aren't. |
| Example code |
>> replace "abc" "bc" "c"
== "ac"
>> replace #{616263} #{6263} #{63}
== #{616363}

I think I have now found the error: in the source of REPLACE, the test which determines LEN does not cater for BINARY! type. It is probably assumed this is covered by ANY-STRING!, but that is not anymore the case. |

Fixed in mezz-series.r 6989. Tweaked the doc strings too.
Note that non-binary search values will be converted by TO-BINARY, so the search value should be compatible with that. If you don't want the value converted with TO-BINARY, convert it yourself using the method you prefer. |
