  • SymbolStringSearchPolicy

    From Glenn Swanlund@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 23 14:35:34 2021
    Somewhere between 7.1.9 and 7.1.20 SymbolStringSearchPolicy was removed. I have an app that uses this. Is there another way to achieve the same function?

    Thanks,
    Glenn

    Hi Glenn,

    SymbolStringSearchPolicy was necessary in earlier versions of Dolphin since (as per the class comment) "Normally Symbols are not considered equal to Strings even when they contain the same characters."

    The class is no longer required (hence its removal) since Strings and Symbols with the same sequence of Characters now compare equal:

    "7.0"
    #abc = 'abc' "false"

    "7.1"
    #abs = 'abc' "true"

    You should now be able to use EqualitySearchPolicy instead with the same results.

    Hope this helps,

    John

    Typo correction:

    "7.1"
    #abc = 'abc' "true"
